    When did the rules change to allow 150's in and what was the reasoning?

    To have cheap fastish racing would be to put road tyres onto an 85 mx bike, parts and bikes are everywhere, and would be a good way for kids to get into road racing.

    I haven't voted as I haven't been on a race track for over 30 years. I do have a suggestion that will make those who bigger moters able to have them and won't disadvantage the current racers.

    My suggestion:
    No limit on engine size.
    Maximum carb size 24 mm (or 17 mm for twin carbs)
    Maximum exhaust tailpipe diameter 25 mm.
    Time to ride

    If the limit was going to be raised wouldnt 200cc be a better limit?

    Thast what they have in Oz with a two valve engine and carb size limit

    There's no need for it here, there is nothing wrong with the current rules and capacity limit

    if thats what you have always wanted , why suggest 250 diesel buckets ?

    the bucket formula is pretty well thought out, making a big change at the top will mean adjusting all the other rules like the carb restriction on 125's , the supercharging rule etc, would f5 have to go up to 100cc? Its just too easy to spend 3 seconds thinking then post it up on kb.

    Jantar, your idea is almost as silly as Dellorto's

    with fxr150 motors and old small capacity four strokes getting more and more rare i think it would be a great idea
