105hp Mini-buggy

Custom Roketa GK-13. Powered by a Gen 5 Honda VFR800 engine. Engine has K&N filter, fresh fluids, and the valves were checked and adjusted prior to dropping it in the buggy. New primary and secondary drive chains. Retains reverse. Hand operated shifting and clutch. Aftermarket shocks with 9~10" of travel all around, and they're air shocks...100psi is very soft and sucks up rocks and curbs, 115psi is firm and grippy. Has a very large aluminum radiator and high CFM fan.

This is a 800lb machine with 105 horsepower and is very, very fast. It has "vision altering" acceleration. It was built to be run mostly on hard pack, gravel, and rough terrain...and, of course, mud, snow, and ice. I'm not sure how it would handle in sand but I've seen similar builds run in it just fine...if that's your goal I would approach it with caution until I was sure. The thing has climbed everything I've thrown it at. The only thing on the dash that's functional is the tach...the rest of the features got messed up by a little water I accidentally on purpose went through. Will likely need a new cluster to get full function back. Good tires but it's about time to pop them off and clean the beads.

It's not a beauty queen. Before I got it the thing spent a lot of time outside and the seats and frame are faded. It's a project I've been working on for a while and there's a lot of stuff still held up by zip ties instead of proper brackets. Some areas need cleaning up. It could use nicer seats. It could use paint. The battery sucks in the cold but has been through three summers...might be time to replace regardless. You can run it as is, or clean it up as much as you want...it's at a point where you can soft-customize to your taste or just beat the snot out of it.

The LED's are not included.

$3000

Price is firm. I am not really interested in trades...already got my eyes on something. I don't have a lot of time for joyrides...I'll take you for a spin if you can show me the cash. Located in Lubbock, TX.

the thing is an absolute blast.  Especially on fire roads and the like.  I finally got the suspension neatly dialed in today and it's no longer like trying to steer a boat at low speed.  If I weren't wanting to build a four seater I'd never let the thing go.  The way the thing pulls in second and third gear, if you've got an open stretch, just feels good and the sound is so lovely.

Had some things change on my end...price is $3000 now.  I've found a replacement buggy and a I've found a wrecked B12 to run the thing but, if the GK13 doesn't go soon, they'll slip through my fingers!
