I own a CBR powered 7 a lot like this and I can tell you it flys. 0-4 in about 4 seconds. I never knew Catherman made one powered by a CBR 900. Thank you for posting.

480 KG Fireblade Seven.

 

 

Porker. How about a 400 kg Westfield FW400 with a 190hp/150ft.lbs 1.8 K series Rover.

That's my motor, and yes it's very light. But 400kg. Wow!! My Caterham weighs in at 529 kg. or 1164 pounds vs the 880 lbs of that westfield. Wow again!!!

I like rollcages that stick ABOVE my head thankyouverymuch. And if you hit just the right way (think Murphy and his law here) that cage will bend over and snap your head off.

A carbon fiber monocoque is a great way to reduce weight. Just wish they were still making that car...

i know its nuts.....the cdn model is selling for 2.2 times the price

Surprisingly pricey! But from looking closely at one, there IS a quality improvement over 'normal' Cat product. (The man used to race those huge orange Can Am cars) Still, he charges for it.

Shipping from the UK for a Car is surprisingly reasonable and Registration is only required for Street licensing. In which case a 15 yr old car will be happily 'allowed' street registration. A 1996 Cat, plus a wrecker Hayabusa for 3 to 5K $ and you've got a 'project'

Yes. 3 cheers for the UK and the Magic Roundabout. After about your fifth pass through it you'd have your tires warmed up and you could really have some fun.
