That would have to belong in the "cute and useless" file.

No rollbar, no body, tires only suited to paved roads.
The only off-road activity shown was doing some
spinouts on grass.

I'd be much more impressed if he'd put the engine
in an airplaine.

An ATV doesn't have role protection or any body.

tires only suited to paved roads.

With proper tyres, no wheelspin, and that amount of grunt he would have
shot straight out the end of that paddock.

I'll admit that would be a much better use for that engine, but that
requires buying a plane, *a lot* of certification, plus licences; and
regulation, and inspections, and, and, and.

Now if you happen to have an old ATV in the shed, and some welding
gear............

Still bloody useless. :)
