After being inspired by a few posts I saw here, I started my own minibike project. I converted a mid 80s Suzuki 3 wheeler to a minibike. I have a blog with the details here, if you are interested in the process.
I only have a few trips around the field under my belt, but so far, so good.

It's a bit bouncy, but not bad.

It has been disappointingly bad in the snow, or at least in soft snow, but pretty good on packed snow or dirt. There's no riding without both hands on the wheel as the front wheel darts around a bit with low pressure.

Looks good I imagine having no suspension at all might get a bit harsh. Lower psi would make a huge difference and with that engine you wont have a problem with power. I want to do the same thing but maybe with a honda and full suspension. You say its kinda darty. I wonder if maybe the fact that it was a 3 wheeler has something to do with it and the steering geometry is wrong. That was a problem on this guys build. Check it out he put alot of work into it http://earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/the-fat-hippo-utility-bike-build.128392/
