My questions

**NOID** · 31st July 2009, 12:57

well i dont post around here much, but am allways looking. i have a few questions for all of you. i have an old xr200 rollong frame around with cr forks etc on it was a good trail bike when i was a little smaller, engine is poked and iv been looking for a cheep bucket for some time but i cant seem to find what i am after for the right amount of coin. So with a little work and cheap chinese 150cc engine, 17inch rims etc etc would i be able to race F4 ?

it would be a F4 motard monster thing made from what i have in the barn..

or am i just better to keep looking for a another bike ...

If you have well [U]set up reliable[/U] F5 or F4 bike and are looking to sell please get in contact with me thanks

It would be legal. Just don't go sticking ya foot out in the turns.

You can pick up a brand-new Loncin 150 engine for around $500 incl carb, ignition etc. Should theoretically bolt straight in.
Chuck some 17" wheels and slick plus a decent front brake and you could have a fun machine.

It would probably do very well around the small tracks that buckets race on!

theres a rooster in Dunedin with a hot 150cc powered XR200 and it was very competitive

a motard bucket would be awsome thats what i planned to do before a brought my fxr150, loncin motors are good but for people like me who like to go to track days ect they probualy arnt the best beause their sohc and 5 speed.
hae ill see you at roys hill

**nudemetalz** · 31st July 2009, 16:57

What's the fact that they're SOHC and 5 speed got to with them not being very good for track days?

well they arnt that fast either.......but at the speeds of Kart tracks they are pretty good.

**quallman1234** · 31st July 2009, 19:55

In the right hands anything is fast.

Yes that is a pun. Wooho.

We had one blasting round at Mt Wgtn a few years ago. Rick(?) owned it, had 17s on and the best dunlop slicks you could get. It went very well.

**SHELRACING** · 31st July 2009, 23:50

Could be a fun ride. We had a Loncin motor, easy to bling up a bit, very reliable. I won a few 'B' grade races on ours.

Skunk is right about sticking yer foot out tho. Motard style riding is dangerous on a kart track.

**NOID** · 1st August 2009, 10:44

Rito then, ill bust the cash out and buy what i have to and build everything else

... shounds like it could be a go then. i dont plan on being the fastest.. compedative maybe suits me fine. my parents gota fxr150 siting in the shed but its my little brothers

great bike, reliable as the day is long and go prity well for a little 4 stroke bike but im not allowed to race it, iv all ready asked.
