Well, where to start .... while it might be easy to take the piss out of the original post, if it was John Conner who mentioned this as an idea, then I for one, would want to know what his thinking or reasoning is for that.

In Australia they run a Motolites and Superlites class.

Motolites
Typical Motolite (bucket) racers include the Moriwaki MH80R 80cc water-cooled two strokes and Honda RS125 grand prix framed hybrids usually powered by an 85cc water-cooled two stroke or larger capacity four stroke engine.

Classes One class combining:
- 111cc Air cooled 2 strokes
- 85cc Water cooled 2 strokes
- 159cc 4 valve single cylinder 4 stroke
- 185cc 2 valve single cylinder 4 stroke
- 159cc 2 valve twin cylinder 4 stroke
- 200cc 2 valve air cooled single cylinder 4 stroke with a maximum size carburettor of 28mm.

These capacities are maximum sizes, a tolerance of 2% is included within these capacities. Open to any grade of rider.
# Engines Choice of engine is open. Any engine conforming to capacity & valve constraints under “Classes” section 1. Exception: No Road Race / GP or hand built engines

# Forks: Forks may be of any diameter, conventional or upside down

# Frames: Frames is open.

# Brakes: Brake modification is permitted.

# Tyres: Tyres to be readily available in Australia. No Slicks, Intermediates or Wet weather racing tyres. Tyres are to be as they left the manufacturer. (ie: No regrooving).


Superlites
Typical superlite (bucket) racers include Honda H100 and CB125/150 and SL125 and CL100, Suzuki GS125 and DR125 and Yamaha DT100, Kawasaki KH100.

# Classes: One Class, 111cc 2 Stroke & 159cc 4 stroke maximum capacities. An engine tolerance of 2% is included within these capacities. There are two grades:
- Pro Class &
- Amateur Class

# Frames: Frames shall be from homologated, non-competition, Road or Trail machines only. Frames shall be twin shock design only (ie: No single shock frames to be used).

But they run on road racing tracks, not kart tracks (from what I've seen) so it makes more sense to have those rules. Except for Chch who else uses 'big' tracks?

FFS is this thread still going on? Buckets is buckets the way it is. Why screw with something that works? [unsubscribe]

And you guys say I'm trouble?... Good points though Dave

And of course, they don't get the mighty FXR150 over there either ....

did someone say 250cc two stroke water cooled

E.S.E where are you I need that tzr engine put into the tz250 frame I have lying around

what gear ratios do I need for the bucket track ????

have a spare rs250 honda lying around and a rgv250 engine what should I do ????

for a some reason I dont think John C would be saying 250cc motors on a cart track
would be better to let you use 80cc mx motors instead (cheaper easier and faster)
