Which is a good reason but...

I don't understand the logic behind the decision.  A normal busa engine in a small light car (like a mini of old fiat 500)  - yeah I get that - but they've had to do so much frigging around with this when there are dedicated auto engines which would likely get them better results for less money.

But yeah if 'they just wanted to' is the case fair call.

Some kiwi guys did similar 10 or more years ago with ZX12 Kawasaki. Can't see how to put up link to YouTube. Speedway midget was its purpose. Engine was called a Synergy, took it to America, worked real good. The Yanks banned it !!  :facepalm:
