The Waddon chassis was very basic but worked very well and I think would make a fantastic bucket frame. It was light and the bike handled well, the one I had was bought from Ian Young who had finished 2nd with it ( against all the MBA twins ) in the Marlborough British champs, this should give an idea of how good it was. The motor was a Rotax.

The Scitsu in the picture was not my one but I did ride it a few times, it is 2 aluminium plates bolted together with aluminium spacers in between, this one had a Kawasaki bottom end with an RG500 pot on it, my one had a Rotax in it and is owned at this time by Neil Hodsons dad, I know this as I got a request for some original photo's so he could restore it. The handling on the Scitsu was a little problematic at first with the front end tending to chatter through fast turns, this was resolved by altering the angle on the rear suspension. The bike was a little on the heavy side and there was talk of making one out of Honey comb but I don't think this ever happened. Tony Dawson and Nick Carpenter were the builders, Tony was also the Astrolite man I think.

Where could find some more information on the kx125 one i would like to build a copy of one of these???

I could try and contact Nick for the dimensions, it may take a while as I have to go through a friend with no computer

yes that would be fantastic if you could do that or even if i could get his contact.
If you can find anything out you can email me at 7205651@student.swin.edu.au
Ive started on building the engine to race in historics in aus. but i need a chassis as well and replica of this would be very cool.
That would be great.

The traditional way to start building copy frames is to scale from pictures.....

Can't be too hard getting frames approved in Oz - a couple of mine are in use over there.

Yeah what types of frames? because its so unusual i would probably need some kind of publication like a magazine with date and a picture or a book

Mine are aermacchi replicas - from what i was told they submitted a couple of potos of the bike and there was no problem getting approval.
Contact your local officialdom and find out what level of verification is needed - the Waddon/EMC Rotax is not exactly an unknown bike.
