Get an FXR150, spend a little more than you want to, you wont need to upgrade in 6 months.About 3/4s of the chch buckets are FXRs

Hi, good call but unfortunately my budget wont allow me to do that at the moment, would be nice to get some experience before going to an FXR so will see if anything suitable turns up...Cheers

that there is a 20+hp bike with little work
after you buy that start looking for a good frame to put the engine into

make a very good prody bike and you could get close to 18hp out of it with the standard pipe :p

223978 Ned kellys GP125 in the early days 17" rims and rg250w pipe with different handle bars , foot pegs and seat

and someone would bring it to Taupo at christmass then someone could take it to Christchurch after the TRRS you woudln't have to do much more than put slicks on it

Have a look here to see some simple mods that get 20+ rwhp

NedKellys makes 23rwhp and that's without much modification............
