Hi everyone I really want to buy a bucket racer or a cheap track bike. I live in Lower Hutt and I dont want to spend too much cash as I am just getting into racing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

With that sort of budget, you could get a half decent FXR150.

If a dereg '86 gsxr750 or an '88 gsx750es katana (reg on hold) interest you for track thrashing let me know, both are about 75% complete and are in my garage in lower hutt if you want to come have a look. 027 942 5793

Reliable I have no idea about, but I'd doubt it ;)

And if you have no mechanical knowledge at all, then potentially neither of these bikes - I can put them back together mostly but they will need bits and pieces - would be cheap, but maybe impractical for you sorry?

hey mate, do you still have these bikes? Im only wanting the engine, so it must be running. I am wanting to put it into a custom bike. Whats your price for one if you still have them?
Cheers, Mitch.

I have a 2 piece race suit that's been down a few times for abrasion testing purposes. What size are you?
