This specialist UK company markets track day / race cars mostly powered by modified bike engines. They are currently testing a new engine using two 'Busa top ends.

The for sale page also has some interesting cars....

crazy nutters...
sorta reminds me of this "thing" i saw at Box Hill last week, it had a blade headlight, a bucket seat out of a car, tube frame, car wheels, and what looked like a small block engine stuffed in... oh and he had a folded up bicycle strapped to the back of his seat... huge thing!

The best run with the twin butterfly system that will be utilised in the SR8 saw a maximum power output of 372bhp at 9,800 rpm, with 207 ft lbs of torque at 6,800 rpm.
That little cage ought to scream around a track. I'd love to take it for a spin(with the optional off road tires, of course)

Re: Twin Hayabusas = Radical V8
Yep, sure looks fun. Does this contribute to the V8 OHV/ OHC power debate or not? I think this is just cheap development of others' expensive R&D (thanks Suzuki) to a fun purpose.

Occasionally, I think a trackday Radical would be a better idea for an old coward than a track bike.....

PS I don't take any credit for originality in this link, it derives from a test in the Autocar magazine I bought yesterday.
