What class will this fit into?

How about one of these. The 125 is legal. might have to give it a roof chop.

I like that!

. . I hear a lot of talk about FXR engines but all the ones I can find have done in excess of 30000ks when is a lot of revolutions on a small engine and before I was happy to race it id want to rebuild it, then to make it competitive it needs high comp piston, head mods, cams etc

which is largely rebuilding it. CBR150 engine off ebay might be an idea.

There was a complete CBR 150 race bike on TM last week apparently went for 4k.
Why didn't ya buy that? Could have been a race winner right away and probably remained competitive for years too.

I looked for hours and couldn't even find one CBR.

I don't want to come off as a Phil Goff but you, sir, are a liar.

Try to get a 125 and do the big bore job on it.

I think that this kit runs for about $1000 landed in NZ. (Well at least it was about that when I contacted them early this year.)

But that might you may be able to do the FXR cheaper.


If you go for an FXR
If you send it to Gavin Veltemyer up in auckland he can do the whole lot at once with a pretty quick turn around. High comp and new piston, porting, lighten flywheel and redo the loom and check the rod etc, replacing it if need be. He can do cams as well if you want a bit of extra go.
You will have to shell out with some cash for his work but when you get the engine back it is ready to do whatever with. I don't know if he would like me putting all of his prices up but for the basic job (just porting and high comp piston/rebore) it would set you back about $800 I think. He doesn't have a bad price for a rod replacement either.
He has done quite a few of them and knows what he is doing. Saves you having to lug it around to different people.

Paying the man to do it is not everyone's cup of tea but it is a great service - and makes a fast engine.

Not sure why you are so concerned about having to rebuild a s/h FXR motor. They do seem to be pretty bullet prooof.
And if you bought a brand new Loncin motor would you still do the same mods to it? ie big bore, race cams, race CDI, exhaust etc?
Tidy as FXR right here, low kms, and one of the faster green models http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-410805731.htm

Str8 Jackets has done around 80 thou, that's with a couple of seasons worth of racing on it too, still going fine. (Maybe I just jinxed it then).

Just build or buy a bike and race it. That CB twin would get you going fine.

Naa, Different beasts. 125 = economy biased 2 valver. 150 = 4 valve decent motor.

I want to spend no more then $2000 on a bike that can win haha

I dont really trust buying someone elses bike they look like they are gonna break and need lots of work, id rather build something from the ground up so everything is done right.

Im notorious for being hard on bikes so its gotta be strong

The going rate of base bikes (std FXR etc) seems to be going up as popularity increases but that still isn't an unrealistic budget for a real weapon.
Mine is no weapon but it does OK in A grade. (I get would expect about the same placings as you got on Clive's CBR) It would probably cost about a grand to put that together but it would require a reasonable amount of work to do it for that.

Here is my recipe:

1x NSR rolling frame
1x Mb100 engine
1x Mb50 gearbox
1x 17" rear wheel
1x Cheapo rear brake (NSR didn't have one that would work)
2x Second hand 5 year old 125 slicks
1x RD 350 reedblock (Free)
1x RG150 Carb with 2 x RGV250 carb options (All Free, Cheers Gareth )
1x Pipe from RG400 (I think, some old pipe anyway!)
1x muffler from RGV250 (Cut down to suit)

The rest is time and effort.

If you don't have the time and effort you should be able to buy a bike for a bit more that is all ready to go.

Im going up to Tauranga this weekend and hopefully will get the CRM80 if it checks out, I have the CBR chassis which may not be the best but I like something bigger cause im tall and I like wide tyres. So far thats $1000 then I have $1000 to make it fast. Im not gonna count consumables like tyres and ill conveniently forgot things like nylon, ductail etc etc

That's actually quite a large and workable budget if spend wisely.


Do remember that buckets don't chew tyres at quite the same pace as superbikes...
