motorcycle engined cars

I guess Roth's Rubber Ducky is the reverse of this?
It's a Honda, but a car engine in a trike?

 

How about a GIXXER KART

Racing series in Germany. Boris Said one of the drivers at the Ring..

 

Do you have any more details or pics on this car? Looks to be a T-Bucket? I'm curious about the drive line.

 

Here's another view, but I don't know anything about it. I'd guess the drive line is probably setup like a ledgends/dwarf car (?)

 

Not really a 'traditional' car, but this carbon-fiber bodied Honda egg is a work of art.

 

there is a racing series just for these little cars in Australia. 1.2 litre Yamaha bike engine power.
very quick for their size.

Wasn't the early NSU PRINZ cars powered by a two cylinder motorcycle engine of about 500-600cc? Probably got the engine from a BMW motorcycle.

 

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO jealous. You are lucky guy. Gary

 

Astounding vehicle. I just can't imagine how much fun this would be to drive. Gary

 

The dragster is one that has been posted in a couple of other threads on the HAMB but for the bike power fans here it is again. Totally street legal and a hoot to drive. The funnycar is 10 foot long from end to end and was originally built with a carbureted 900 Kawasaki. 600 pounds all up with an all aluminum body.

Something new -- from Washington State. This Harley-powered Morganish three-wheeler is ready for production. More info at cycle-car.com.

No, not mine, just a few pics I've found on the web. Kinda have a thing for old Brit racers, F-500s, Austin-7s and such. Here's a few more:

Quite a varied collection of racers. I've long admired the innovation of the Brits, true hotrodding for sure.

Those 750 Club type racers are pretty slick machines.

 

Just remembered my old autocross days in Germany, circa 1969. The modified Fiat 500 by Steyer Puch (Bavarian moped folks) was just about unbeatable. A hot rodded Fiat with a hot rodded motorcycle engine. Gary

 

Hadn't noticed this before, the driver appears to have his eyes CLOSED !

 

A company from Stateline, NV called "Tahoe T-Cars" offered a motorcycle powered kit car back in the seventies. It was a standard Fad-T of the day, but powered by a Honda 750 with a Hondamatic transmission. No differential and no reverse, but it sure looked like fun.

 

Here's a better pic of the "Harley T". It's a 23 T coupe with a Screaming Eagle Harley engine. The owner lives close to me and this thing is just awesome. The black paint you see is still original 23 Ford!!

 

Aeromonte, do you have any picture of the drive train. I have a 1000cc shovelhead sportster motor laying around that I been think of putting in a chopped down pickup.

 

Again not traditional but I raced these modified midgets for years, 750# with driver, 600cc based engines built up and on alky well over 100 HP and turn 14000+ all race long. Stupid fast and even more fun to drive

 

Started out as a VW midget in the 70s I then converted it to a 600 Yammy in the 80s then a 1000 Gixxer in the 90s.

 

I guess Drake converted the old Knuckle-Head to water cooling. Neat stuff and beautiful engine for a good looking car - thanks, Mike!
