Gen 1 Or Gen 2 Engine For A Small Sand Car?

Registered
Hello Everyone,

I have a SR1 Rhino that is currently powered by a 2010 Yamaha R1000.

the car weighs about 1500lbs total.

I am looking to swap the hayabusa in, but I am having trouble picking which generation to go with.

Gen 2 has a stronger output shaft, but that's easily upgraded on gen 1.
gen 2 has 20 more HP than a gen 1. but im planning on taking either engine up to about 400HP.
gen 2 usually have less miles....
gen 1 is cheaper

does anyone have any reasons of why I shouldn't go with a certain generation?

Thanks for the advice.

99-01 will need to be upgraded to 02-07 ecu and supporting parts before you could do much of anything to it.
So add a few hundred to your cost if you go with one of those years.
