    Would probably run F4 but if anyone protested you'd be on pretty thin ice.
    Not worth the risk and aggravation in my opinion.

    Its this wording I have been told would mess things up

    FXR 155Z, Forzas flagship racing range, is born to race against the best -Pitster Pro, Thumpstar & BBR. My first impression is FXR 155Z looks like a Japanese bike, especially so much attention to details.

    Big can of worms here........strictly its a no go as they have to be a road going based commuter type engine. It can be argued that the engine is a honda cub/postie based engine.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    Aggghh - words scmurds.... - tell you what. how about I run an advert that says its a farmbike/commuter/childrens bike? you could keep the advert to show the committee when you win the championship!

    They are just little pitbike engines

    A mere 19hp and 12,000 rpm...

    Doesn't have to be road going. Farm bike and some trail bike motors are legal.

    Plus you would look like a homo riding one of these.

    My interpetation of the rules would be, putting aside the competition/non competition part.

    NOT LEGAL,

    MNZ quote.
    24.2.1 Solo motorcycles shall have two engine capacity classes:
    F4 2 stroke 55-100cc
    2 stroke 55-125cc air cooled
    4 stroke 55-150cc
    F5 2 stroke 0-50cc
    4 stroke 0-100cc air cooled.

    Ah but rebored engines are allowed up to 158.09

    MNZ quote.
    24.2.3 The maximum capacity for rebored engines shall be:
    F4 2 stroke 55-100cc - 104cc
    2 stroke 55-125cc air cooled - 130.5cc
    4 stroke 55-150cc – 158.09cc
    F5 2 stroke 0-50cc - 53cc
    4 stroke 0-100cc - 104cc

    However this engine starts above the maximum capacity limits,

    It gets tricky cause people build engines out of parts that all started as more than the capacity limits allowed before being changed to meet rules (debored/destroked ect), I think these type are legal by my opinion and well within the "spirit" of buckets.

    These are just my views and i'm sure everyone see's it there own way.

    Maybe the close ratio gear box would help screw it
