Thoughts of a non cateram owner!

[DougS]

Hope you guys don't mind owners of "other" cars posting!

I've been viewing the forums for quite a while without posting & the information available is astounding + lots of activity unlike some forums.

My question is, as the owner of a Kawasaki 1000 engined Striker (sorry!) I have noticed a total lack of bike powered Cateram subject matter.

Is this total taboo or is this due more to a lack of factory support? Having owned both car & bike engined powered cars, I'd hate to tour Europe (or even UK?) in my Striker but for sunny day blasts & the odd track day it's hard to beat.

 

Any thoughts? 😬

Hi,

I think its because there aren't many caterham's with bike engines. You could try www.se7ens.net as they (/we for I am a member there as well) talk about all types of seven there (strikers included) and there are a fair few with bike engines. There is also a bike engined car email list as well - not sure of the address for it though.

PS two of the se7ens.net cars with bike engines have done tours to other countries, both of them went on our trips to finland this year and Europe last year which were about 2000 miles each...

There is a bike engined car group on Yahoo Groups, but I don't have the URL to hand just now........

A search on Yahoo will find it, though.

Try here, almost any imaginable engine / vehicle combination has been built, been considered or is being built (fireblade in a fiat 500 anyone ).

 

This year a group trip was organised to Le Mans and there are also regular track days and meets.
