Such revs

1.57 shows the real down-side of using a bike engine in a car. Too tall a first gear and a lack of get-go torque. If you gear it down so that it doesn't bog off the line without slipping the clutch then you limit the top speed severely.

132.9mph off and walked away. Gear is good, gear is good, gear is very very good

How long until he gets bored of the GSXR1000 engine and puts a 'busa one in anyway.

Looks cool though.

Not watched the whole video, but I remember a build on the Mini Forum similar to this. One of the lads built an R1 Mini-Minus.
Very fast little cars, as they're all fiberglass so weigh feck all.
As Pete says, downside is the lack of get-go because the engine is designed for a 180kg bike.

The Mini forum cars I saw being built (Was probably 4 in total) all played with the gearing to have a top speed of around 120/130mph.
In fairness, any faster in a mini in truly horrifying anyway.

Would something like a v twin be more suitable if not as quick
