Gary motorcycle gearboxes are soooooooo much better than the typical automotive unit. I don't know how many times I've commented on who thought a H-pattern gearbox was the thing.............................bikes have used sequential shifting for , oh about forever.
In the D-sports racer I left foot braked and simply went up and down through without using the clutch, same as I do on a bike. The thought of making a Datsun 1200 shifter Kart is appealing...................now if only I could find a stash of TZ750 engines I could also get myself away from using these horribly heavy slow revving four strokes. :)
Off Topic: are you running A or B Mod?? The 2-stroke engines can be brought up to just over 100 HP, but I'm thinking even "if" the Busa engined weighed more the 50 or so horsepower would be well worth it.
