Managed to find some time earlier in the year to try a 125, 6 speed version. It was at Darley Moor. Still very quick but kept forgetting which stupid gear I was in, and does take some getting used to.
Where's my SLI dash when I need it
Oddly I thought I would be a least a little bit scared by the thing but no it was just very very fast and great fun, haha. Not sure but I guess I was doing almost 100mph flat out. No speedo though obviously.
Mind you on the limit in one of these things would have been something else, I was just taking it easy. Some poor guy ended up in hospital after clipping a kerb earlier in the day. The lack of suspension just launched the kart through the air and he went in one direction and the kart in another. He was ok I'm glad to say, just badly shaken up.
When you see a kart come back as bent as that most of us decided just to be a bit more cautious!
Having said that though I must be nuts because I've got my eye on one for sale at the moment...
