My FZR 600 sport bike engine Honda n600 project has languished while I have taken care of affairs. People keep asking me about this car. Here it is! Yes I still have it. Yes it runs. I need to wade thru some stuff to get to it. Stay tuned Honda 600 bike engine transplant fans !

Mark: This is so cool...I wonder why Honda Motor Company didn't develop this idea and support the "kei" sized car in America? With a power/weight ration that could have been achieved, a large segment of American drivers would have bought them. We could have supported the R & D required for the conversion of the power train, and the Japanese market would have pressured their gov for a special "hight-performance Kei license. Which brings me to my question: how do YOU plan to transmit power? Good luck and thanks for sharing your vids. ---Bryan O

Re: Bike Engine Honda n600 update
Hi Brian,
The down fall for bike powered cars is usually chain drive and no reverse. As is the case here. I feel Honda would rather make an engine with reverse and more torque, bigger clutch, ect. to survive in a auto. They did just that.
