Bucket racer for sale

[MsKABC]

Due to a change in circumstances, I regretfully offer up "The Banana" for sale. For those new to Auckland bucket racing, The Banana is a Suzuki GS125, which used to be bright yellow (now black, with a snazzy purple tailpiece :blip:), and has been racing at Mt Welly on and off for several years now. Ready to race. Has Dunlop TT90s. Runs well, quite reliable. PM me for further info. Asking $400.

Cleans them up man, all the noobs go and by an fxr so most are at the back of the pack...

[Scotty595]

Haha. Fair enough. Now how about it versus an experienced rider on a FXR? :p

How longs a piece of string? Twice as long as half its length imo

[Scotty595]

Oh well. You have my PM MsKABC. So if all is good I may have my first bucket :D If not then all good too - will just have to make one

Its a good bike. It has good power but the handeling leaves somthing to be desired, although I have riden and seen far worse. More than capable of being towards the pointy end of the B grade, and I would say mid pach A grade with a good rider.

You coulld say that about just almost every bike.

[Scotty595]

I really just need something to get me started at the moment so not too worried about how hard it goes against them, just interested

[woodyracer]

it used to be my bike, {my first bucket ever}, its alot slower than a fxr, as its old and the pipe on it has no back pressure, but the bottom end is great, it pop's wheelies easliy in first.

Basicaly it a good starter bike, the best i ever got on it was 10th {out of 24 riders} so mid pack B-grade to front end B-grade is possible. It was very relialbe when i had it.


A steal at $400!!

Yea I guess you could. Mine I guess was a more descriptive way of saying it is average:laugh:

As far as getting out there and getting going then yea I guess it will be right up your ally. And for $400 you cant go wrong in my opinion. Just dont expect to go out and clean up A grade

[Scotty595]

Yeah definately not plainning on going out and cleaning up A grade (on any bike), would be nice though :p. Will see how it goes.

[Buckets4Me]

Just dont expect to go out and clean up A grade


expecting to clean up first year in A grade is like expecting to win lotto without a ticket :)

and just to clean up you need to be REALY realy good or win lotto
just ask Tim how often he can beat Karl and Dave and Garry ?

Nothing wrong with the frames, the FXR would have a better front end though, put a GSXR250 front end in it and 17 inch wheels and I'd expect to outhandle the FXRs
