that would be just for fun though, a rotax 100 would piss all over it on a go kart track

go kart tracks are tight and short burst straights,
it would weigh alot with crap handling and he wouldnt be able to put the power down or change gears quick enough let alone go in a straight line while on full throttle, thats if its sprocketed like a bitch!
but if were talking about having fun on a empty runway then the vfr 400 would more fun 
the rotax 100s are quick but theres alot better go karts out there
