Honda RS125 GP motor!!
Well here in the UK, we don't go into build your own chainsaws for racing etc, but I really wish we did. Sounds loads of fun. But what I would like to add is that I think you are all missing out probably the best bike engine to use although one Guy was close. I have just retired from 125cc road racing I for power, high revs, and very light weight, you should try and get hold of a Honda RS125 GP motor. This motor is very simular to the Honda CR crossers but basically will rev higher but does have a narrower power band (8000rpm to 14000rpm). A 1998 or newer motor would be best as you can get 45 BHP out of them quite easily. Can you get hold of them easily in the states? I probably won't be butchering my race bike to try this but would love to know if anyone has used this motor before and see a pic.
Have fun
