[Johnnybizzle]

Please can anyone with a bike engines roadster tell me what the weight of their car was when completed.

Currently building CBR 1000 engined car trying to work out overall weight, for design weight also BHP per tonne

Hi Jon,
firstly a warm welcome to the forum & wish you well with your Roadster build,

its hard to give an accurate weight as each builder may have completed their car using different materials ( eg. floor ali/steel etc) but most cars seem to be around 530 to 600kgs,

tho if forum member "Slimtater" see,s this then i,m sure he,ll know the weight of his car, its a blade engined Roadster.

hope that help:o

cheers

Welcome Johnny, nice home town BTW ;)

I seem to remember Tim's car being 510kg but I don't know for certain. With the right bits I'd say it would be possible to get under 500kg.

Cheers

Chris :)

If I recall, 508kg, but can't find the sheet with it on! Having said that, I have done quite a few bits since it was built including changing the wheels, so I ought to get it done again.
Still around 250bhp/ton! :D
