Quick photoshop, Would this work?
Pros:
-100+hp with a turbo (decently reliable)
-Comes with e-start, reverse stock
-Seat is actually comfy vs bike seats
Cons:
-Weight, well it weighs approx 40lbs more than a yfz450 (the 450 quad), so assuming that's mostly in the engine. add 10 more for turbo components etc., assume it loses a bit of weight with a stripped down frame/no wheels, compare that to a 450 bike and it might be in the ~380lb wet range? Who knows.
-Width, kind of wide with a lockup clutch, but way skinnier than a cvt still
Overall the power would be better than a 450 mx bike but not as heavy as a sportbike conversion.
A-arm front end because I still think it would be superior to forks but I suppose it could be forks too (but then why not just put the motor into a bike chassis)
Thoughts?
