Upon further consideration, the Fiat won't make the '09 Challenge.....however it should make 2010. This year instead is leaning towards an early British rendition with a touch of Dearborn muscle. And it seems I have rustled up some help this year as long as they get to drive also. 38 days and counting....

How about a Yamaha Genesis motor? 105HP, 750cc, 5-valves per cylinder, angled almost flat with downdraft carbs. Unusual for a bike engine, and considering you can get decent FZ/FZR750's for within $1000 all day, it wouldn't be hard to find a donor bike and then part off all the pricey body plastics.
got the motor started and test run today, now I need to make the trans adaptor plate and stick it in...

Not to hijack, but what class would Andy Nelson's bug run in?
