500cc Mini Buggy

makenzie71 · 06-30-2012, 03:41 PM

Started out as a SunL 150-2A buggy. She now has a Polaris front end and is run by a 500cc Honda VT500 motor. Makes about 50hp and is FAST! Has no problem pulling my 160lbs plus passenger up to speed. I've had a heft friend in the passenger seat...an additional 325lbs...and she had no problem pulling it.

I made this thing for trails and caliche pits. If you want to do much rock climbing or sand then you'll need to get some shorter tires on the back. She is a live axle buggy, which is great off road, but makes "jumping" a little more tricky...you'll need to brace the swingarm if you intend to get her off the ground often.

Not much to look at but a ton of fun. Located in Lubbock, TX.

Asking $2300, feel free to make offers, worse I can say is "no". Not interested in trades unless you have a TL1000R laying around.

Here's a video....sorry about the quality:

That's quite an enginnering feat! I'd love to take that for a rip.

It was a lot of fun! The guy who bought it broke it almost immediately...said his GPS claimed about 78mph.

That buggy looks like a lot of fun! You did a good job.

I'm glad you were successful selling it.
