125 cc Honda Shifter Kart for Sale: $5,300 package

2009 Chassis with a 1999 Honda 6-speed 125 cc engine. Carbon Nose and custom Carbon F. Floor pan with diffuser.

Brief history, I did my 1st Kart race in 2012. I was loaned a kart to participate at the Fall Classic in Sonoma (I am in the middle) .  I did not finish a single race and yet I got the bug, and bought N#18 above.

Here is a sample video of the Kart at Willow Springs in 2014. The 2 karts ahead are 250 cc class and I had pole position. But the wrong tires mounted out from (too cold temp). Still finished 2nd place and winner overall.

Here is another great video of the Kart at Sonoma (Formely Sears Point), one of my favorite tracks, personally better than Laguna Seca. You can watch number 34 and I battling it out, with fuel being spilled by his overflow every time he takes a sharp corner. And me sputtering coming out of Turn 11, this is due to the wrong Low Speed Jet being installed (2013).

And included is a custom Nylon lower frame guard, if you happen to miss a corner at 100 mph and go into some gravel.

Custom Steering wheel with MyChron 3, including master kill switch (red thingy in the right of the gauge)

Custom CF Camera Mount with anti vibration plate. Its currently configured for the Contour Type Camera, but the CT mount is simply double sided tape.

 New Parts in 2013~14:

The kart does come with my original complete set up sheet for every single track it as seen pavement for the past 2 years. Every single adjustment is recorded and cataloged. 

It also comes with carb set up sheets, MyChron 3 manual, a copy of the Kart Chassis set up book.Keihin Carb Chart, and more.  

All of the information above was not made available to me when I bought the Kart and I ended up with a very steep learning curve for the 1st season. I don't want the next owners to have to deal with all of that. I simply want anyone to drop in the settings as recorded and enjoy the races.

This allowed me to get these:

 I am selling the Kart due to changes in family priority, with a 3 year old on hand and a new job. While one day she will become a great racer. I simply no longer have the time.
