F3 bikes being built & on their way

[codgyoleracer]

Great to hear that there is a lot of interest in the Formula class still and the humm on the street is for the nationals or for some just north island nationals .......

New kids on the block
2 x Two stroke 400's in Aprilia 250 based road frames
All new triple for Stevie Woods
Neil Chapp's ER6 / ZX4 thingy
Griffiths RVF450 trellis framed/125
Kawa ER6 with "motor-from-hell" bike built by Grumph
Glen Orwin - Percival triple 450 or Poss 450/4 R6


Add to that the tried and true:
Terry Fitz - SV650 on steroids
My own, what used to be an SV650
Scotty Moir -re developed 450/125 single
Tims 550 Aprilia based tard
Ozzies - Hard charging triple 450
Smith & Woods (Snr) Triples selection
+ a bunch of slighty less developed bikes but up-n-comers all !


All adds up to a pretty good class to be following and involved with, what can i add to the list(s)

[steveyb]

Should be out there: Percival Yam 450 with Orwin on board, so I hear......

Added, cheers

I've told you a million times not to exaggerate Glen. I have it on the supreem authority of bucket racers, that they have the only growing class of formula bikes.

These bikes you're talking about are all old shitters being painted up nice obviously!

On a serious note though, I'd love enough coin to try and extract some ponies from an 750ss and slot it in a decent chassis.

That makes me smile. That's a great mix of engines and chassis. Great to see lots of ingenuity and imagination being used.

[Grumph]

Scratch the ER6 I did - it's history now.

Pity as it was very promising.

[lostinflyz]

there was a ducati monster hybrid thing at puke a while back with all the bling... don't know many details but that would be entertaining

You fixed the vespa yet?

[lostinflyz]

You fixed the vespa yet?

motors done needs to be bolted in, probably got a few other little issues to resolve and need to adapt some south afrikan round things and we'll be back up and humming...... i say now. haha

[lostinflyz]

is that list a guys gonna do nationals list or is it a general one?? would be a great field if they rolled up at some/all the nats meets and not just the local stuff....

[steveyb]

some south afrikan round things . haha

I didn't know there was a tyre company in Sth Afrika!!

:killingme

[feral1]

I didn't know there was a tyre company in Sth Afrika!!

:killingme

No, but some nice BST light wheels I am guessing....

As a by the by, i think the owner of Black Stone Tek company also still owns one of John Britten's finest

[steveyb]

Yeah, Tim obviously has faaaaar too much money if he can afford BST's.....

[neil_cb125t]

I won't be at nats for a while - ill be pushing for part of the tri series, but thats more for testing

[crazy man]

there is also the v8 /v7 zxr250 x2 maybe coming to play

[lostinflyz]

Yeah, Tim obviously has faaaaar too much money if he can afford BST's.....

who said i could afford them??? i was the one asking for cost control elsewhere for f3!!!

its amazing how much you dont spend when you dont go racing.....i know which i would have preferred.....

[lostinflyz]

there is also the v8 /v7 zxr250 x2 maybe coming to play

that would be interesting... of course it would need to lose 25cc from each motor to be f3 legit this year, next of course is a different story...

[Drew]

that would be interesting... of course it would need to lose 25cc from each motor to be f3 legit this year, next of course is a different story...You'll notice it says v8/v7. I'm picking he's dropped a slug from one of the banks to lose 67cc.

It's just a guess though.

[Mental Trousers]

there is also the v8 /v7 zxr250 x2 maybe coming to play

That thing will be fucken cool to see out there racing.

[DerekP]

I do have a new red toy with two cylinders that qualifies, but its more toy than track tool...........

[codgyoleracer]

there is also the v8 /v7 zxr250 x2 maybe coming to play

That would be good to see aye, I can add that to the list if anyone can confirm its appearance atleast at one round of nats ?,
