Speedpro Vs Richban?

[koba]

It looks like there is a cool rivalry heating up between our two horsepower heroes.

Who will place better at Taupo?

In the Blue Corner, representing cutting edge Diesel technology we have: RichBan of Wellington.
His bike: 24+ HP Suzuki FXR150.
Put together with the help of his brother, Mr Kelford Cams.
Quite new to the bucket scene Rich has made wave with his outrageously powered FXR, crashing out of the lead at Taupo last year he has unfinished business...

In the Green Corner, at the forefront of two-stroke wizardry we have : Speedpro.
His Bike 29+ HP Honda MB100 Powered FZR Special.
With decades of experience with tuning and racing buckets and an engine designed by the legendary Wobbly It looks like Speedpro is poised to improve on his own recent run of bad luck at Taupo (or before it).

Ladies and Gentlemen, I must ask again,

Who Will Win out of these two fine Bucket racers?

Who Will Win out of these two fine Bucket racers?

My vote goes for Diesel Pig

[White trash]

Fucken neither.

F5 Dave will show up and tear them both a new arsehole. ON AN F5! Lol.

Good thread Malcolm.

My vote goes for Diesel Pig

I think this should be an interesting matchup regardless of whether it is for first ot last.


I was actually thinking a poll of top ten or so possible winners would be quite good too...

There are 12 max options so you could say top 11 plus one option for "other, not listed".

The problem is picking a top 11...

[koba]

Fucken neither.

Have you seen his F4 Bike?!

Who's going to put odds on this head to head and for the dnf/dns (would be shorter for both than head to head?)

[White trash]

What's truly awesome about this thread, is until now, F4 and 5 contenders have quietly been beavering away in the workshop knowing their time would come. MNZ have slowly over a number of years eroded the true tuners and inovators out of NZ motorcycling with their "Production is best" philosophy.

All of a sudden, more than one tuner is publicly making almost 300hp per litre from a naturally aspirated, 30 year old engine and all of a sudden, it's cool to ride a bucket!

I fucken love it.

Go the 2T!

I haven't even voted myself yet coz it is really hard to pick.
I'm thinking maybe the MB engine could die as it is much earlier in its development than Riches proven motor.

I question whether it'll be ready. No question as to its sheer awesomeness whatsoever.

My moneys on Al Hoogie and his CBR.......but out of the two, which ever one goes the distance, both engines have to be a grenade with the pin pulled, how long are the fuses?

My moneys on Al Hoogie and his CBR.......

I didn't realise he was going, I might have to change my bet
