AFTER THE ROCKET, the TR1ke is still the biggest seller for Road Track Race. It uses the Yamaha R1 engine from a 1998 to 2006 donor, offering 147bhp to 175bhp – and now there’s the option of using the 185bhp-plus engine (up to 2007) from the Suzuki Hayabusa in the Triabusa. The Mevabusa is the four-wheeled equivalent, and can use donor bikes up to 2013. The Mevabusa is a direct response to customer demand. Many potential builders were asking for a Suzuki Hayabusa powered version of the Rocket – so the company went one stage further and developed a bespoke car around the powerplant. It has an exoskeletal chassis to keep weight to a minimum – the kerb weight is a super-fly 400kg – and has been tuned for exceptional on track ability. With a kit price of £4995 plus VAT, RTR estimates that home built versions will be completed for around £9000 to £10,000, with the Suzuki Hayabusa parts contributing around £2500 to that total. Suspension is double wishbone all round, with bespoke uprights at the rear and Rally Design items up front (all of which is included in the kit).
