400kg 170bhp sequential paddle shift and 13k rpm redline
Have to say the most thrilling car I have owned due to being 4" from the ground and the wind trying to rip the helmet off my head

Just a toy 100%
Yes has an early R1 engine.
The grip level due to the low centre of gravity is phenomenal I have never got near
the limit and won't be trying on the public road.
The only issue is getting the weather to take it out seeing as I live in Scotland

Looks ace. Was only looking at similar cars the other day thinking what a lot of fun they look. Came across one called an asbo iirc, which just looked phenomenal in a video. One day. Enjoy

Missing no roof.
Now the question improve on the one I have or
sell this and build a full kit?

Improving the current one would mean full cage
newer 1400 bike engine and full electronic paddle shift
