December's Bucket of the month is Nick's 'Kawasuki'.
It's a Kawasaki ZXR250 rolling frame with a Suzuki FXR150 engine to power it.
Nick purchased the bike as a complete bucket but it has evolved steadily over the time he has been racing.
First, out came the Loncin engine and in went the FXR, this has since been hotted up to GPR customer Spec, with somewhere north of 20hp.
He's also given the suspension some thought. well, more than just thought. Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is an Öhlins TTX tucked in the back there!
Of course this was an opportunity purchase, another local racer was selling off some gear so Nick managed to snap it up for a really good price.
With a bit of work the fully adjustable (And rebuild-able) competition shock seems to work very well indeed!
He's used this to recently storm his way in to A-grade with some very hard racing and good laptimes.
This will be one to watch in this years North Island Series as well as the upcoming TSS Redbaron King of Kaitoke.
