    Quick question, (not a wind up).

    From everything that's been said here, what is being classed as competition parts, is basically something being commercially available to turn your bike into a racer. Is that right?

    Does anyone have a plan on policing which motors were made with legal bits, and which were made with identical bits that are competition items?
    yep no maby I dont know

    Boyson reads for a road bike legal or not (rd350)


    now you are starting another fight

    if it dosn't come from honda as a replacement part and you didn't make it (someone will say it's not legal)

    aftermarket or race parts it's a bit gray

    Clear as mud then.

    Ok, I'll run something else then. Anyone mind if I bring a pit bike powered by and RGV motor wearing slicks to a bucket track just to fuck around?

    Won't bother with the bucket tracks with the RGV motard beast. I'm gonna extend the swing arm and drift it round real race tracks.

    Any track a Bucket is on is a "real race track"

    Fine ya fuckin pedant. On a full sized race track. That better?

    The thing would be bloody lethal on too tight a track.

    Gonna be mean for big jumps though.

    The real question is, do you have the talent to put it all together, my guess is not..... I think talk is probably more your thing.

    I might not have been clear, I intend to power a pit bike with an RGV250 motor, and stretch the swingarm for doing skids.

    A quote taken from MNZ's website

    24.2 Engines must be derived from non-competition motorcycles. Motocross, Road Racing, Enduro and Go Kart motors and transmission parts are not permitted. There shall be no restriction on the make, type or design of carburettor, ignition, exhaust, piston, cam, valve springs or cooling system except for class eligibility. All engines must be normally aspirated except F4 4 stroke engines of less than 100cc capacity, which may be turbo or supercharged. F4 2 stroke engines over 104cc are restricted to carburation equivalent to a single 24mm carburettor, F5 4 stroke engines over 53cc are restricted to carburetion equivalent to a single 20mm carburettor..

    Does it meet those criteria? I don't know,
    It isn't really a motorcross bike.
    Enduro? I have no idea,
    Competition? prob not, so maybe legal.

    Im not the one to ask but you may be ok.
    "majority opinion will let you know"

    If it was legal, would you want to use it as a bucket?
    I sure wouldn't,

    The bike is designed to work on dirt, maybe, on a track I imagine would be rubbish due to suspension and geometry differences betweeen the dirt and sealed track.

    There are other options on trademe all the time that would suit better.

    Only thing I see worthy of that bike is the engine.
    even then it still is prob rubbish and if it goes wrong will you get parts?

    my advice leave it!!
