One thing that comes to mind regarding motorcycle engines is that
it seems to me like if anybody wants to go that route, you'd probably
want to use one that came out of a cruiser (most Harleys, Vulcan,
Intruder, V star, etc.) as opposed to a sport bike, otherwise you're
going to have to wind the thing out to get any power out of it; might
not be the best match for an off road buggy. :-) A Goldwing drivetrain
might be interesting as I think that would give you a reverse. :-)
(Plus probably a heavy duty electrical setup for running lights,
CB radio, etc.)
