Six-Wheeled Yamaha R1 Kart Ensures You'll Die Smiling

**Vissionary** · 09-17-2008, 08:45 PM

One of the most awesome death-traps we've seen in a while, this custom 6-wheel go-kart is powered by a 1000cc engine from a Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle. That means there's about 180 HP screaming directly behind you, sending power through all four rear wheels. This thing makes a 'Busa Kart look ordinary. We're somewhat surprised that it wasn't sold, even with its $6,000 starting bid. But then, the seller does say: "I DO NOT SUGGEST THAT ANYONE RIDE THIS KART." Never has going out in a blaze of glory been so simultaneously appealing and appalling.

Holy shit, that's so fucking awesome. I want Alex to imaginarily buy it.

I remember riding my friend's pocket bike, and that thing only went around 35, but god damn was that thing fun. Couldn't turn worth shit, I ended up eating it into the grass.
