Your dream bucket

[nudemetalz]

Okay,...after the pointless & useless but entertaining thread of "How much does your bucket weigh"...thought I'd come up with another.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM BUCKET ??

Thought mine would be something RC212V inspired (gee, really?),
but this would be mine -
A Yamaha YZF-R125 with a Rossi sticker kit, bored to 150 and some serious tuning done to it.

Ooops,..losing the bucket spirit here.... :girlfight:

[Pedrostt500]

one of about 20 litres and full of BEER

[FROSTY]

-Its the perfect world right?
Then I'd have different buckets for different tracks.
For Mt wellington I think something with Torque for africa and wide bars.
Taupo and ChCh you have it on the noggin cept I'd have a 2 stroke engine i think .--But it looks pretty darn frajile to me

[Bren]

each to their own, but I guess my perfect bucket would be what bucket racing is about...a bucket of shit that costs no more than $500...

[Number One]

Mine is the Sled going with good tyres on it.

I happy with wot I got...jsut need to get it running :whistle:

getting a workout as we speak on the 'test track' with Mr Skunk and his baby too I think

[deanohit]

Oooh, now let me see..................
Lets start with a Cagiva Mito 125 chassis and running gear. Should give the handling, braking and looks desired.
Then a race prepped CB140 for the twin sound.

Who cares if it's not exactly a winner, when your looking and sounding this cool while racing as hard as you can. :ride:


But to really finish the team, I'd also need an TTR125 bored as much as possible while keeping in the engine limit, with motard rims for shits and giggles.

Don't forget the tyre warmers!!

[TygerTung]

Maybe an FXR150?

[Skunk]

Maybe an FXR150?
Dangerous will be along any minute..

[Buddha#81]

Maybe an FXR150?

Ya what.........you been on them drugs again.

[Buddha#81]

A mix of my old lite RG50 copied frame with my FXR motor!

[Buddha#81]

One of these wouldn't be to bad, bored to 100cc with a reed block and a dirty big flat slide carb, plus the 17's and slicks

[riffer]

How about this, with an FXR150 motor?

Probably completely against the rules though I reckon.

[Sully60]

A tough question Nudez.

I has to be light.

I has to turn well and have plenty of grip.

You have to have reasonable horsepower and torque.

One of them 9k CBR150s would be nice :msn-wink:

But that's too easy, something with a homebuilt chassis and seriously modified or home made engine components is the way I want to go.

A water cooled, 8 valve CB142 twin with 270 degree firing order in a chromoly steel trellis chassis with RS 125 suspension and wheels, that would be my dream bucket.

[TygerTung]

Ya what.........you been on them drugs again.

Nah no way, I don't actually want an FXR150, I thought it might get a responce you see.

I reckon your old bucket with a fast motor and working suspension would be the way to go.

Is this a glimpse of things to come?

[Sully60]

Is this a glimpse of things to come?

I'd like to think so.

[nudemetalz]

Sounds like a mini-TRX850 to me, and they are a mighty fine machine.

[Kickaha]

They're a pressed up crank, so it shouldn't be to hard to change if you cand find some to do it, Diesel Pig looked at a CM200 crank to stroke one out to 150cc and it was a 180 degree crank

edit it was a 360 degree crank

[nudemetalz]

I thought CM180/200's were 360 degree crank?

[Kickaha]

I thought CM180/200's were 360 degree crank?

Yeah they are, I had that backwards, that was one of the reasons he didn't bother with it

[Sully60]

Sounds like a mini-TRX850 to me, and they are a mighty fine machine.

But more tuned than a TRX, don't get me wrong cause they're a lovely bike but they're undertuned and lack that edgey apeal.

They need megaphones!:devil2:

Is the centre main pressed of welded? I can't say I've had a close enough look at the crank. No good if you can't rotate the inner crank webs!

I'd been thinking about this from a more pragmatic viewpoint, and I reckon F5Daves H100?RS125 combo would be just about the best concept based upon all the critrea mentioned above. If it goes anything as well as Str8Jackets ex F5Dave bike and you can actually keep it pointing in the right direction and hold some corner speed, which is relatively easy with an RS125.:yes:

Just need a big boy seat wide bars and a big fat tank to rest mine on:msn-wink:

[gav]

Something like this maybe would do!

Otherwise any bike that could get my fat arse to the finish line before any other sucker would be just fine ..... :cool:

[Skunk]

Don't worry Gav - you can beat me again in the BoB this year.

[avgas]

Mine would be my old RG150 with a smaller bore and uprated rear shock.

[F5 Dave]

nah I'm with Riffer on this, UICHI UI's bike would be just the danglers but not fitted with some festering diesel, but a Derbi 80 street engine taken out to 100.
. . . After stripping off the ghey fairings etc, - wouldn't want to be called a wanka.:shifty:

Actually they didn't make an 80 - only aftermarket kits which wouldn't be legal, but if we are dreaming them they'd make a street 100 that I could tune snot out of.

ok lets get serial.

. . .a 100cc V-twin using 50cc Derbi or Aprillia cylinders. I could realistically pull 30hp no drama, actually I'd bet could get to 37hp as a twin.

150cc 4 stroke, pah!

[Skunk]

Funny that Dave, I have been thinking about my dream bucket and so far all I have is a home built tandem twin 100cc two stroke. Haven't come up with a chassis. Thinking home built...

[nudemetalz]

Back in the late 80's, a good mate of mine came up with an idea of making the ultimate bucket by taking a Suzuki T90 and turning one of the barrels upright to make it into a 90 degree v-twin (T90's are a 90cc parallel twin with the barrels forward like an A-50 or A-100). Then he planned to use 2 RG50's barrels and watercool it.
He got as far as machining the crankcase and actually getting the barrels ready to fit. Unfortunately, he never progressed beyond that.
Pity, would have been quite a machine.

[Skunk]

Far out that's a fat pipe.

[nudemetalz]

Far out that's a fat pipe.

I get told that by girlies all the time...... :yes:

[Buddha#81]

Far out that's a fat pipe.

Its a RS125 pipe, ya don't see them 'cause of the fairing.

[Skunk]

But it's on a MB100 engine isn't it? Bit big I would have thought.

[riffer]

Goes nicely with the 40mm Mikuni feeding the cylinder.

[xwhatsit]

Honda's Dream 50R...


...yes, I know it's technically a `race bike', but I don't think 50cc of thumper rage is going to cause anybody any problems.

Are those DOHCs?
Cool bike. :cool:

[xwhatsit]

Yep -- 50cc, DOHC single-cylinder. 14,000rpm :shit: 9.5 horsepower.

EDIT: My apologies, that was the original 1962 RC110 50cc it's a homage to -- the (modern, 2004) Dream 50R makes 7hp@13,500rpm. You can get a kit that makes it produce more horsepower, 14,000rpm. 71kg. Hell yes :D Just the bike for my commute.
<img src=http://world.honda.com/HRC/products/dream50r/images/img01.jpg></img>

It's an HRC machine. Made alongside the RS125, RS250, and something that you guys might also like; the NSR `mini'. Water-cooled 50cc 2-stroke. Fairings, the works. Hardcore race suspension.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, too many cool bikes, not enough money.
Better get a lotto ticket for tonight then so I can get onto Honda with the order before the weekend.

[nudemetalz]

They're awesome alright and they not all just dedicated race-bikes.
hmmm....:love::drool:

[F5 Dave]

Do you mean like this?
Or like this? Built 10 years ago, water cooled, full case reed induction.
Then things went wrong. But it did run. I need to restart this after the 500 is finished.

[nudemetalz]

Check these out…..
Yamaha R150 and FZ150 made in India. Reputed to produce 22HP.
Based on the R125 but bet you could get it quite cheap.

Hmmm,….

Or about 17 when you get it near a dyno, if you are lucky, warm FXR150 power in a heavy chassis.

shhhhhh he's sleeping...

BUT as having been influenced by that man o mine I can say (with complete honest) that I think that is looovely

I think 17 is being being quite generous to, has any one dynoed a FXR yet?

There was one of those racing at the Battle of Buckets

[nudemetalz]

At the end of the day, those DOHC 4-valve engines will put out more horsies than my archaic LongChin,.. so the best way of staying competitve is to lighten her and ride like a looney !!

And yes, I'd love a CR110 too !!

[F5 Dave]

I said a warm FXR, I believe they put out ~15-16 std depending on the dyno.

The CR110 rep thingy was ridden by Dave Britten who writes for KR every so often. Yeah it does look kinda cool, albeit a horrible 4 stroke device.

I didn't realise Battler was still doing Buckets. Sheez, I used to race buckets with him (& Tony M) back in the late '80s.

[F5 Dave]

He just did the BOB (&50GP) for a blast from the past & so could write about it, been on KB as Racing Dave.
