I like the idea with the pull, I think that would make a great challenge and make it so you have to keep some low end. R1s go for around 1300-1500 usually but I have found a few for about 1k, not sure if I would want to spend that money on a lawn mower or not but I figured I would just put it on a go kart when I'm done with it.
I'm not sure if I will be able to convince them to stick with the original motor, they are pretty excited to weld up some tube and build a chassi to handle something larger. But that will be pretty scary/unsafe in the turns so I'll see. We are going to discuss it over a few beers when I get back in the state at the end of the week. I'll keep ya posted
