Sweet.

3 cylinder,4-stroke,l­iquid cooling
Displacement 796 (CC)
Rated power 26.2/5500 (kw/r/min)
Dry weight 430 (kg)

That's about 35 HP? That thing weighs about 950 pounds. About .0368
HP/lb. Only ~7.5 " ground clearance. Would be better if it had a
little better ground clearance and had a little better power/weight
ratio. Like .05 (70/1400) or so. Plus would be cool if it was
"street legal"... and air-cooled.... :-)­

 Yeah, that's nothing (but it *is* cool). A friend of mine just put a 1000cc
Kawasaki 4 cyl. on a Yamaha Banshee 4-wheeler frame. He says it's FUNNY!!!
I'm thinking it's around 80-100 HP & what; 300 lbs.?
I haven't ridden it yet but will soon...

 I wouldn't recommend buying any with an engine built in China. They
motor products are junk at best. If it were built in Taiwan then it
would be another story. The average quality of products from Taiwan is
far superior than the same stuff from china.

 One of the companys I "work for" is the No1 distributor of Rhino Rally
Karts, a locally branded Chinese sourced Kitset. They aren't the greatest
built thing in the world (there are a few things to check before we sell
them) But the engines are really good on this particular make. I was really
surprised. The engine is a rip off of a Honda design with built in
centrifugal clutch and CVT transmission. They go really well! The new 250cc
water cooled should be good when it arrives later this week.

 me and my roommate are building a kart with a 1100cc Honda goldwing motor.
It's going to be a single seater. We expect to have some fun with it since
it will still have a 5-speed tranny and be as lite as possible.

That's pretty much true of anything made in china! Yet sometimes it's the
only thing available here in the USA! This country has gone to hell.

Always wanted to do that - use a bike engine with a trans on a go-cart. Be
careful! ;^p

I have been working on a couple projects regarding China for months and
found it that some of their manufacturing efforts are moving forward with
speed and quality that should scare anyone imagining to compete in certain
markets. Consider this - the government is monolithic - it doesn't have to
get a consensus in order to make decisions - so they consult with the best
engineers in the world and just make it so by buying the best of the best
manufacturing equipment and training. Whether one considers this good or bad
is another thread.

An aside, the concrete never sets in some cities - they are building so fast
that if you leave for six months chances are you won't recognize it when you
come back. (We will have to wait to see how that works out in the long
term.)

 I'd say the chinese engines are doing pretty well. True, they are choked
back on performance... they are more concerned with fuel economy there.
Adding peformance intake, exhaust and rejetting does wonders though!!!
I've yet to have a failure or problem and I have 3 chinese engines.

www.buggynews.com has lots of info on these engines.
