ive already talked to him..hes sold it.....buckets are very easy to sell...i definatly see why.......ive been on a cb125t...looked like crap but man did it go though......too fast for mt welly....

I think you've made a wise decision Dellorto. For your first bike I think you'd be better off with a 4 stroke. $800 should buy you a good bike.

If you're lucky you might find a CB125 T. But even a Honda 125 single would be a good start for the Auckland 'B' Grade.

Best advice. Talk to John Conner. He's always got or knows of bike's for sale. He might even help you build one. If you get a John Conner bike, It won't be pretty but it will be competitive.

Good Luck

Ahhh the banana lives again!!!!!

[DELLORTO]

Ahhh the banana lives again!!!!!

isnt it 125cc though? ive sxeen some previous posts on it......

good bike??

Granma here.

It's my old first bike. It's a Suzuki GS 125cc with a race cam in it. We used to call it the 'Banana', cause it was painted all yellow. It aint the fastest bike around but boy is it reliable.

It got a good thrashing by a few of the boys at buckets and some newbies had a go on it. L Plates Flyer managed to fall off it several times, and the old girl just keeps on going.

If you can, find a 17" front wheel to put in it, it will be even better. Does it still have the 17" on the back with a good slick?

[DELLORTO]

hi allen, yes it does have a 17 on the back...could a put a fxr front wheel on it?

You could but there are far better options in terms of suitable widths, and it depends what the width of the rear wheel is so you get a could width ratio front to back

[DELLORTO]

its just theres a fxr front wheel on trade-me with a tire for a good price.....so would be able to put that fxr wheel on my gs125 without any trouble or modifications?

I cant say without looking at it, but I would imagine there would need to be asome fabrication.

First thing you need to look at is the axle size (are they the same or different, if they are different can you just change the bearings in the wheel or is a more complicated solution required), follwed by wheel width (normally you will need some spacers fabricated to fit a non standard wheel to a set of forks), with the thrid factor being the brake caliper an disk (do they atch up or do yu need to make up a bracket so it will fit)

[Pumba]

Just had a thought, where abouts in Aucks are you? If you want to look at how much work will be required to fit a FXR rim prior to spending any money I have got one here that you that you are welcome to borrow for that purpose.
