Got a new toy....
Picked this bad boy up the other day...
![]() Weighs 800 lbs and has the engine from an 80s Honda Goldwing! ![]() It came with some tires for the mud and paddles for the sand! Looking forward to taking this thing down to Pismo and hitting the dunes!

(But did it pass the California smog test hahaha)
Sounds like more fun (as Clarkson once said) than watchng the entire French Air force crash into a fireworks factory.

That looks like a lot of fun! Since it has the GW engine, does it have reverse too?

How many toys do you have now?
May be I'm getting you confused with someone else but it seems like you'll be needing a new toy box soon to keep them all in!

Maybe 75? But the torque should be immediate

What does it weigh? My guess would be 1,200 pounds. If my guess is anywhere near correct then that's 16 pounds per horsepower. That would be the rough equivalent of a peppy street car, except with so little weight it should change directions on a dime.

WOW! That IS light! That's 12 pounds per horsepower. That's the equivalent of a 3,500 pound, 300HP car. Pretty peppy!
