Buggies?

LandRoger:

Saw some Buggies out on the Plain yesterday think they had motorbike engines in them not sure typicaly camera in the other car, anyone know about these or Buggies in general  could be a cheaper option for laning than a thirsty truck? :smiley:

YT:
Think there are 2 main contenders. One is the 'rage', can't remember the other type. Both run bike engines, if memory serves, 1's a CBR 600, the other runs a 1000 fireblade lump. Top gear had a play with both. Both are RWD and ridiculously quick, mpg will be really good unless yer caining them.  I think they come in around circa 6K new.

rage are the sill fast ones, joyner are less so but still wickedly capable. i had one on demo for the farm for mustering duties very nice bit of kit but the local dealer went base over apex and i never got to ordering one.

LandRoger:
Managed to find out a bit more on the buggies that i saw  on the Plain,3 of the 5 were Rage models 450 Honda sohc motors of the others one was a Rage kit car self built with a 3 pot deisel lump the last one a 250 Honda motor chassis is a Hammerhead,i am told the cheapest way into buggies is the self build kit about

YT:
Go for as big a lump as ya can. Modern jap motors are ultra reliable, cbr 600 lumps are nigh on bullet proof.
