    ]I have to agree and disagree with max. yes you can build a bucket for under 3k easly, i have and iv been wastefull buying flash bits like yoshi pipe, flash paint etc etc and am up to 1500$ ish. and im dead slow as iv never raced before, but going on what iv seen at roys theres alot of people that take it queit seriously, i agree that im out to have as much fun as the next guy but when the time comes that i can ride well enough to keep up with the front guys i will spend $$$$ to get me the advantages i need to win... simple[/QUOTE]

    The advantages you need to win just can't be bought with $$$ I've been hunting for a bigger set of bollocks for years to make myself faster !!
    Tim's Bike has a carb wheels gearing and a pipe thats it and look how fast he is he must have big bollocks LOL!!

    That's the funniest thing I have ever heard

    I don't know how many times I asked and said " have you put fresh gas in it and drained the carb..."

    That's gold.

    No but a couple of them belong to a good mate of mine. Mine is the Kawasaki green FXR. You'll be allright out there I'm sure, FXR's are pretty reliable for most people.

Our MotoFXR series is raced on the full circuit of Levels and Ruapuna and has better prizes and prize money than you can win at the Nats on a 600 or 1K. Most or us have Posty's, F3, Motards, Bears bikes and look at them as something to do when we are waiting for the next Bucket race..........Sorry Dude Bucket racing is far from non serious for most of us!

    3K can get you a very competitive bike, what other class of ANY motorsport can you do that?
    I think you will find that some if not all up here in Auckland take it very seriosly

    your right, at mt wellignton even b-grade is fearsly compeditive......when you race on big circuits like they do i guess you need more power {that means more money}......a well set-up fxr {in a different frame} you'd be looking at $3500 at least, i like the compeditive nature.....i also like a bike that looks nice and handles nice.

    Whats a loncin like on taupo, ruapuna ect?? their only a 5-speed.....

    no Gav.. the fxr150 currently been ridden the fastest is a std bike, but its not the fastest fxr150 by a long shot. Stick any of them light guys on my bike warwick is riding and then you'll see the fastest fxr150.

    Other than carb, exhaust and wheels the top 3 FXR's up here are 'standard' too, I suppose you would call it mildly modified...

    if you do anything else than that you'll risk blowing the motor.....tims bike has little mods, but they've been done well. He might need to do mor to it to out power gary.
