Suzuki BEC

Just seen a Suzuki Cappuccino on the roads whilst walking home, and thought hmmm, BEC? Haven't done any research yet apart from a quick search on here so just wondered if it had been mulled over by anyone else before? So, discussion open.....

I met a guy on a trackday in a cappuccino. He knew someone with a bike engined car. He said it was a tight fit, as the 600cc tripple in the suzuki is small and a tight fit in the engine bay. I think the radiator had to go somewhere creative to make room for the extra cylinder.

It weighs 700kg with a three-cylinder, all-alloy 657cc engine, so I doubt there'd be a great deal of weight to be saved by going bike engine.

Fit a triumph triple, problem loved

How does the latest 1050cc speed triple compare in size? That might fit, and be a decent power hike.

There's a small article about them in this months Practical Classics and I thought BEC.
I saw one recently at my brothers garage, in for something mechanical but the tinworm had hit fairly hard and they are not give away prices yet
