Well this popped up on my Marketplace feed. Looks like a quick way to die.

Beat me to it, I think it would need to be a heavily rusted yard art Isetta to stay within budget though. Looks like a Smart or Citicar body would be way too big...
Impressive,and I thought it was tough fitting one in a Justy

It comes with a front brake kit! Safety First.
Safety third, kids.
Going fast.
Looking good.

Suzuki TL1000, yummy!
What could possibly go wrong?
Years ago, Smokey Yunick had a column in one of the magazines called Hey Smokey. Someone wrote in with the question, "I want to put a V8 in a go-cart. What problems would I run into?"
Smokey's reply was brief, "Mainly, staying alive".
It's a good thing that isn't closer.
Oh look, someone figured out how to take the TL1000R engine and put it in a platform that might even be MORE dangerous! Quick, someone figure out how to put some weird rotary damper thing on the rear suspension of this kart!

Best damn "advice" in town.
Becuase of the awful wieght distribution four stroke bike karts have low corner speeds relative to normal shifter Kart.
Your going to be going a lot faster in a 250 shifter kart.
Faintly in the background you hear the Bon Jovi song "Blaze of Glory" playing...

Who said anything about corners
In reply to Tom1200 :
I dunno,heavier and therefore slower(in a corner/brake zone) then a little 2 stroke but engine placement looks good to me once a driver is onboard.
Inline 4 out back,yes agree for sure.
Well this one is more expensive but also perhaps better built and turbocharged too.... But brakes seem like an afterthought on these things!

A kid in my neighborhood sawed his arm off on a kart without a chain shield
I can still remember what it sounded like
Run a scattershield, folks. Hell I want one for my cars. That's a lot of mass spinning very fast aimed right at you. It's like a disk grinder, except it is a 16 inch 30lb mass of steel with cuts in it like a grenade.

Part of the reason I stepped away from higher powered manual fwd gm's. The flywheel is directly in line with the driver's crotch/abdomen/face.
