Hello mark, and welcome to Pistonheads.

It's rude to knock someone on first acquaintance, but have you tried the search facility?

The PH one is running on Google at the moment (use the search link at the top of the page) It ain't perfect but it will show that this question has been asked a lot of times before.

Have a read of that stuff, then come back if you've got some specific queries.

loved my radical and bike engine racing cars for me have a certain appeal....reving the hell out of it with smaller power bands and characteristics with crash sequential boxes is a stage on from 2stroke superkarts that i used to race... the security of availabilty of engines if it goes bang is also nice....Zx12 ebay special £1200 is a nice thought and makes you drive it harder...

however i couldnt ever really see myself having or even getting the most out of a bike engined road car..... but thats just me..

This is undeniably true. frown

Sorry for my particularly negative initial response... just that we've been there so many times before that it does become rather monotonous.
