Self, perhaps your inner monologue has stated, what could I get to really scare my parents, my friends, my neighbors? Have we got an answer for you.
Meet this ’90s-ish Windle Formula 1 sidecar powered by a Suzuki GSX-R1127 engine.
Let’s do some basic math: maybe close to 200 horsepower–even more?–in a 28-inch-tall three-wheeler built for a pair of friends who don’t have trust issues.
Wheelbase is just a tick shorter than a Miata’s, although this is a little narrower. Obviously this sits lower, too. And did you see the size of those tires?
Asking price is $7500, with the machine located in Marietta, Georgia. The tank is even already full of 112 Sunoco.
Atlanta Motorsport Park isn’t too far away. Just saying.

I've seen this listed near me for at least 6 months, guess no ones crazy enough to buy it

That’s because for the past six months it hasn’t been shared here. :)
I'm not saying that you'll get any special prize, but it'd be pretty awesome to see this run at the next $2000 Challenge.
Speaking of sidecars, someone about one showing up in this Tom Petty video always got my brother and I laughing. It was just so perfect.
Boy is that thing terrifying with the shell off.
A few years back I watched the sidecar races at Summit Point. Those guys are insane. Just saying.
Man, I remember when sidecar racing was a staple of Wide World of Sports in the 1970s. I'd watch it any chance I could.
I actually got a pair of sidecars into the Coatesville Grand Prix this year. Always crowd pleasers.
Anything to do with sidecars is reserved for nutters. Believe it or not, people do trials on these contraptions over ground you can hardly walk over.
My guess is that the chap with the crutches was competing last event.
