Are golf carts powersports vehicles? Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps they’re some sort of UTV—one that’s designed for rich people who like spending their days hitting balls with sticks on gigantic parcels of land. Kidding aside, the fact is simply that golf carts are probably the furthest thing away from badass.
That is, unless you throw in a Yamaha YZF-R1 engine into the mix. And that’s exactly what the folks at Grind Hard Plumbing Co. did in their latest project. This thing’s been around for quite some time now but was all sorts of crazy sketchy. How sketchy? Well, how does no front brakes, a bent rear, a broken frame, and very bad steering geometry sound? Oh, and did I mention that this thing has 180 horsepower?
