Thinking of a project.....

[jlsparky7]

For awhile ive been interested in trying to put a streetbike motor into a quad. Ive been checking local junkyards for wrecked bikes and stuff. Im going to put it in a banshee frame I think because they have some room. What is everyones thoughts on this? I have an uncle that can do the fabrication for the frame.

Yea ive seen the busa banshees but those motors are like 7-9 grand.

pretty much any late model sport bike motor will make well over 100HP easy, even a 600cc could do it. whats a stock banshee? 45-50hp?

76-79 kz1000 almost a drop in install, for a grand you can have a rocket!!!!! 130hp stock hp little fab involved mostly mounting tabs and exhaust... not a big deal,just a weekend project

banshees can make 100+ horsepower for what you would spend on a busa engine anyways. I still laugh when people say it would be easier and cheaper to just swap a busa engine than build a shee engine.

Someone swapped an R1 engine here and are tryin to sell it for $2,000 on Craigslist. I'd rather just have a built banshee.

Not to mention how much heavier a streetbike motor is in comparison.. id stick with the banshee motor myself.

I think i may build a sand rail or dune buggy instead.

There's fun and there's redicilous sand buggies are fun toif it's got a big enough motor
