bucket blingster
4 speed gearbox, little wheels, 17 hp .... faster than a FXR150? Doubt it would be on a full circuit.

but when you buy a bike that is advertised as a race bike then that is competition so a no go
if it was for riding around in a paddock by little kids then it would be ok
if I could buy a honda rs125 with reg and wof I still wouldn't be alowed to race it (dontI'v seen tz750's with regoes)

thats a stock standard fxr150 at 14 h/p? and 120 kg ?
I recon that could be a goer but who is going to splash out $2200 to be laghed at ?

if one ever beats me at taupo or hampton downs

I'm sure you have learnt by now that it isn't all about power to weight!
117kg was our measurement of a commuter/racer in race trim. (Dash, lights, front fairing removed, nylon and numbers added)

The FORZA FXR160 Motard is completely and undeniably ILLEGAL for bucket racing.
I'm guessing you are selling them, if not the below comment may still be read by someone who is:
Sure, people probably aren't going to be lynched at the gates for turning up with one but don't bloody sell them under the miss-conception that they may be kind of legal because they really are not. I'm not accusing you of doing that, I'm not saying you would but I know some people would so don't even think about it Mr!
I used to ride one (not one of these, a real shit one mine was) for a bit, It wasn't legal but it got me started, then I got an MB100 when I was able to.
As for the price comments above, if they are good quality that isn't a bad price at all. It's a 'pitty' that most peoples impressions of such bikes are tarnished by the shit that was coming out of china a few years ago.
Hahaha, can of worms is right!
I wanna get one of these and have a go at trying to run in A / "Alien" grade one day Henk !!!!
Wadda you reckon Koba, Rich, Hamish, Fishie, Andrew.....
Hey, shit look at that, I'm in front of Rich, Hamish, Fishie and Andrew!

The importer tells me that the tech inspector from Mt Wellington club was invited to look at it and he has given it the green light. they are a strong performer that is suitable for racing, the FXR155 are not sold as a race bike though. they are a top of the line pitbike.
I have one of these motors in my postie bike- its fuckin insane!
Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......

he can say anything he likes & may even allow them to race at auckland days, but it doesn't make them legal per-say.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Well come on!.... if you guys that say it can't be legal dont give me a clear reason soon I might just sponsor someone into it.
Are you scared that its 'just not in the spirit of the sport?' ie: too bloody fast and not made out of enough different bikes?

Just read the rules. If you haven't noticed its a competition pit bike.
As for "too bloody fast". umm you're in la la land buddy.
MotoFXR's will rule the world!
CW, you asked the question and you have had several answers.......they are in chapter 24 http://www.mnz.co.nz/competitionrules.aspx . While there are several places you can run such a bike when it comes down to it the bike is a Competition based bike and therefore makes it strictly illeagal.
It may well hold its own on Kart Tracks but in the big picture it will be outgunned. No one here is trying to piss you off but simply point out the facts.......Like it or not you have a toy (fooken cool one at that) and unless it can foot it in F3 on a full size race circuit ya backs against the wall with this one!
Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.
