Motorbike engine

I'm in the process of designing a miniture kit car, similiar to the formula student cars built by many universities.

Warwick Formula Student

I am trying to source a suitable engine, I have been looking for a triumph dayton600 or tt600 as I can get access to tuneboy software and cables at university...

However as the daytona is a relatively new engine they seem difficult to get hold of.. so i'm also looking at the Honda cb600.

Any recommendations of where to try for an engine? or possibly the a whole bike as I need all of the power train(half the bike!).

Thanks.

Hey Alex

Talk to Steve L on the team, I am sure he said that there is a triumph breakers around leamington area (i think) where we get some of our stuff for the car from.

Cheapest is to buy a complete bike & strip off what you want, flog the rest on ebay it sells like hot cakes I got over half my money back!!
