Default In two minds - Help pls

Have been contemplating with this for quite sometime now but still cannot make up my mind - so some help pls

Always wanted to build a kitcar - basically because I enjoy the work that's involved and will defo enjoy the power of a bike engine on that thing

Now it's not like I have the money waiting for it - would probably be a case of pay as you progress and buy things.

The reason I cannot make up my mind is because I don't know whether I should get another bike first (ie sell the SV) and then see about doing the kitcar - or keep the SV and do the kitcar

Ohhhh, depends on the car, and the engine going in it

If you've had the SV a while, get a new bike and save for the car.

But if your SV is new, or your still happy riding it, then kepe it and start the car now.

Depends how happy you are with the SV.

Keep the SV, buy a 'Busa. Ride the 'Busa about and scare yourself half to death, take engine out of 'Busa, break and sell the rest, put 'Busa engine in kit car

I was considering this as a cheap way to achieve performance. Got into biking instead so not really any desire to get one myself anymore.

I would suggest you try and go out on a drive on one You will be amased!!! You have the stability of a car and the power of a bike

Other than that though I would just enjoy building it

A kit car (based around a bike engine in a superlight type chassis) is one of my long term proposed projects. First is a trick-framed modern day cafe racer, then a superlight kit car, then, once I'm getting on a bit, a hotrod.
