Take THIS puppy to the Auto-X!!!!!!!!! That's a GSX-R1000 engine back there. In stock form, it puts out more than 160Hp at the crank. Better wear a helmet. And keep lots of spare cash around for extra tires! :D

...that looks like it could be potentially scary.

Yeah. You'd think they'd at least build a roll cage for it!

That is an understatement! But still, I wonder how scary would it be?

Thanks for the link! That little kart is insane! When I saw them gas it up, I thought, "jeeze, I wouldn't want to have the gas tank right between my legs!" Then I remembered that's exactly where it is when I ride my motorcycle! D'oh! :p I doubt I'd be able to keep that thing on the track, though!

Also, I was wrong about the source of the engine. It's an old GSX-R1100 engine, not a GSX-R1000 engine.

The 1100 has more displacement, obviously, but the 1000 is actually much more powerful. We're talking a 50hp difference! Immagine that!
