    Hey dude i will tel u read slowly ….

    Current motorcycle engines are pretty sophisticated. You don’t have to look at MotoGP engines to see it either, just visit any motorcycle dealer and look at the street bikes ready to follow you home. Many 600cc sportbikes produce over 100hp and 1000cc liter bikes develop over 150hp. The Suzuki Hayabusa comes in around 175hp and thanks to a well developed aftermarket, the big ‘Busa can be turbocharged, given the big bore treatment and, of course, fitted with nitrous, for unbelievable horsepower gains. At a recent horsepower shootout, one well massaged Hayabusa cranked out over 700hp!

    Why not cars?
    With a little imagination you might look at those engines, note their compact dimensions, peer under the hood of a small car and go hmm…

    Well, before you pat yourself on the back for being so creative, it should be noted that folks have been putting motorcycle engines in cars for quite some time.

    The Cooper Car Company was putting 500cc JAP motorcycle engines into a ladder frame special and making a race car back in the late 1940’s and BMW dropped a motorcycle engine into the Isetta in the mid 1950’s. Even earlier, in the 20’s and early 30’s, the Morgan Motor Company built their famous 3 wheelers with V-twin engines from JAP and Matchless mounted right out front. If you’re interested in very early micro cars and motorcycle powered cars you have a lot to choose from, there’s the Peel, the Velorex, the Berkeley and many others that most people have never heard of. There’s a large following and many active collectors for these early motorcycle/car hybrids but our focus here is on the modern engines produced today.

    There are a number of companies currently building motorcycle engine powered cars for both street and track applications. Some are complete factory built, finished cars while others are in various stages of completion or kit form.

    Depending on your skill level, tools and facilities at your disposal, time, energy and intended application you’ll have to narrow down the choices and choose from there. If you’re thinking of buying or building one of these beauties, keep in mind, road legal in one country may not be road legal anywhere else, so be sure to check with local registration authorities and with the company producing the car as they may already have the answers you need
    Performance? Well how’s 0-60 in 3.78 with
    roof, spare wheel, tools, jack, side curtains, mirrors and all-season tires, and fitted with a completely stock engine? It can be ordered in configurations up to 340hp. I’m starting to get a real warm fuzzy for these things, you get the performance of a superbike with full weather protection and a heater along with room for a passenger and luggage. Just imagine what this sounds like at full song on a twisty road … MBA JOB SEEKER
