Awesome build - very impressed 
I should think 3 seconds 0-60 is totally realistic seeing as my Pinto engined Westfield clocked up 4.4s at York dragway last month (and that weighs 220kg more than the "Warner"). Bike 0-60 times a traditionally dissapointing because you can't open the throttle fully until a fairly high speed else you'll just go over the back!

Unfortunately your website appears to have exceeded its bandwidth
It got OcUKed as they say.
Shame as I wanted to see the vids.
that looks absolutely stunning
Theres no doubt that ariel charge a premium for the atom. Its quite expensive for what it is.
Im pretty sure theres a very good market for a cut price alternative, available in kit form or turn key, built and designed in a shed by a englishman, like the best of british sportscars
I've no idea who you could speak to, but you could definately make money out of this, and it would be a shame not to share such a wonderfull design with the rest of the world.
Maybe get evo or somebody to test drive it ? and generate some publicity and get people to come to you ?

I tried with a friend on a speed triple, it couldn't keep up and I had to keep stopping and waiting - it's no fun
What you want to do is race a 'real' bike
Great build btw, jealous! lol

exactly what i was thinking - amazing little machine, really good looking too! Would be interesting to see how it handles but from the looks of it would be a hoot to drive round a track

There are loads of atom like kits out there that are far cheaper than the Atom of which the MEV Rocket is probably the cheapest:-
Personally, I think the "Warner R4" looks way better though
Oh, and I forgot to say in my earlier post - wheels are too big!

OP's car looks stunning now, would love to build something like this in later life when i've got some time on my hands for a proper project.
Car above looks pants!
Car above looks pants!
there was an episode of one of jeremy clarksons TV series, think it might have been one of the motorwold series, where they looked at british cars, and the history of an englishman building a car in his shed etc..
They went round and spoke to loads of kit car builders etc.. and interviewed Ed China (from Wheeler Dealers) who is the bloke who built the Sofa Car thats been on TV a lot !
Its a wonderfull tradtition, and it would be a shame not to make something more from this wonderfull creation.

Then go round a corner and leave the "real" bike behind
I think the fact its gone down so well on here is because unlike most kit cars it looks professional and quite good looking, you need to get some better photos though in full light unless the low light shots are to mask its true look

lol! im on a lesser bike to the more powerfull stuff now and I can keep up with really fast cars... its the rider you see
but really cars will always spank bikes around tight corners but fast sweeping corners I doubt there is much in it, and a bike will nearly always real them in out of the corner 
Straight lining is boring as hell, I love chasing quick cars round twisties even if I dont keep up
As above though straight line is boring lol of course they will, but a good hoon on some twisties against a good rider on a sportsbike would be lots of fun!SoliD said:
