I reckon we should do some controlled to out of control experiments. Like put a 450 mx engine in a bucket and see it is dangerous to ride on a kart track. Bags first go!
Then like if that seams silly, we go to like 40hp something and so on. But I spoz Mototardo's run 450s on kart tracks.
Really, I have nothing constructive to add. Go the 50!!!!!!!. Whoop whoop.

I know a 675 has been tried on a Kart track

450's are for pussies.

Reminds me, Kart track has been done on an RS125 as well

Who You Calling a Pig
I know a GSXR1000 as been on Mt Wellington.......
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

Yeah Yak ran his RS125 in the 90s for a laugh. We smashed him and he wasn't that keen on the clutch abuse required.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

And I was more thinking CR250 in an RG frame with Shinkos.

This was Invergiggle, early 2000s pre Nationals testing

Bucket Racer/Crasher
Someone, possibly a Steadman, years ago suggested a "box" class. If it fitted in a set size box you could race it. Classes would simply be defined by different size boxes. No other rules.

Last century a real wanker who shall remain nameless almost got Buckets banned from Mt Wellington by laying darkies on the straight on a (IIRC) FZR1000, filming it and getting it put on the TV news just before he went to Daytona to race the Britten. The Kart club prez saw it and went ape shit.

Well, the rule changes are out, it seems that there are no changes to the Bucket rules so the F5 4T 20mm and F4 2T 24mm carb rules are still there.
And that is Ok by me,I am very pleased that all my carburetor development work is not going to be wasted. .... if you know what to do, 24mm is absolutely no impediment at all to a 2T Bucket looking to make reasonable sized power.
