    Who wants to buy it?



    It seems to be an XS11 that's met the rear end of a Fiero. Discuss.
    I hate signatures. Too many cars and Bikes to list here.

    .. Niffty. I wonder how it handles?

    We used to have an old Triumph Spitfire out in the yard, I'd offten thought about droping one of these motors in it.

      CRS kicking in

      Hi GNEPIG,
      there's a class of allegedly cheap mini race-cars powered by XS1100 engines.
      I saw a couple of them a few years back displayed on the street as a part of Saskatoon's Cruise Night downtown car display. I talked to their minder about them but the class name has slipped out of my aging memory. Anybody know?

        Probably

        I would think that motor isn't very good anymore. Running behind that auto front means it got no air for cooling and is probably really loose inside.

            The mind boggles at how you'd register a vehicle like that.

              Yes it does. Rather regularly.

                Fred, down here, " South of the Border", the're called Legends cars. I've been to see them race, but none were XS powered. They were FJ 1100, and 1200's, and some had Suzuki engines in them.

                  Hi Malber,
                  like any other Reverse Trike, it's registerable as a motorcycle.

                      I would like to see the same car/bike with an opel gt front. ANd the rear would have to look like a 63 corvette. you would need a lot of scoups to force the air over the motor. My dad was working on something simular with my old 82 Honda CX 500 turbo. He is creative but lacks all ambition. that would have been back in 95 or so.

                            Noticed he isn't using the stock special tank with its copius fuel capacity.

                            Seen a trike around town, can't remember what the front or motor is but the rear is the back of a porche and he drives sitting in it's rear seats. Pretty neat looking. If you're into that sort thing.
