Is it Bucket legal or not?

Bring you fifty bucks, not sure but you may have to be an entered rider to protest

Yes have to ride in the same race and make your protest within 30min of the race finishing.

[Henk]

your on!! I'll beat you on my XR100....




maybe at the june meet tho don't know if I will hav it going by may

Damn you move fast, mint, although now I may have to get onto getting mine finished properly

If you turned out at one of my meetings on a CRF150F or an XR100/CRF100 (or with said engine in another frame) I would consider it fully legal for the classes they fall into. If a rider was to protest it they could put their $50 (or whatever) in the hands of the Steward at a meeting and find.... I am in no doubt..... that they would lose their money in accordance with the rules in the MNZ handbook.

Chances are JC and Skunk would be of the same opinion as myself.

This quote pretty much sums it up. 100% legal. great, cheers.

Not one bit of opposition, except for Rick, but thats OK he can protest himself!!

Question for those who voted legal to XR100/CRF100 but illegal to CRF150f

Why did you vote CRF150f illegal?

[Dutchee]

I went to finally vote and stopped to think. Almost went 150F illegal, but feel that's wrong. It's just a bigger XR/CRF100 engine (feck, what would I know) and is a kids' trailbike. CRF150R is illegal, as that's the MX version.
Maybe we need to get the rules changed from whatever year they were last changed, so that the field isn't running "illegal" bikes, and we don't have to worry about those on smokers protesting us.
Then again, we could just ride our bikes, and my mechanic can sort out the politics of it all.

Question for those who voted legal to XR100/CRF100 but illegal to CRF150f

Why did you vote CRF150f illegal?

I voted that way because the CRF100 engine has been used in multiple legitimate (non-debatable) non competition motorcycles. Given it is (to my knowledge) a drop-in replacement it is legal.

The CRF150 hasn't been used in a non competition bike (to my knowledge) so therefore it stands as Honda sells it. As a part of its competition line.

the crf150 is sold as a kids bike ? where is the competition part of that ?

the cbr150 road bike would be more of a competition bike (I'm sure someone said that honda listed the cylinder as for racing or some such in the parts book here in NZ)

Isnt that an oxymoron ?

There are two flavours of CRF150
The CRF150R MX bike that everybody agrees is illegal and
The CRF150F that is a kids play bike and Hondas answer to the DR125, TTR125 etc that is about as legal as you can get as far as I can see

What about if Henk beats me off on his xr100?????

Then you'll be in a perfect position to protest since I must have a cheater bike.

Sorry mate, read my post again. There is a bit of rude humour I think you missed.
I don't think for a minute you are riding a cheater.

The CRF150F is 5 gears 2 valve 12 hp out of the box. Think I'll stick with my DOHC 17 hp 6 speed FXR. What am I missing? What's the threat the CRF150f presents? Doesn't seem like its a FXR/CBR 150 beater?

Yeah I got that much.
On inspection the website does list it separately to its competition models - as a "Trail" bike. Probably means it sneaks in.

On that basis I will retract my previous statement.

I feel your pain, I was beaten one year at Taupo in F4 by a Girl riding a Honda 100 in a RG50 frame....
