Is it Bucket legal or not?

[jasonu]

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

You probably built it for her...

[crazy man]

my drink said you are all cheats so thats that

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.

I'm far to innocent, naive and homophobic to understand that sort of innuendo.

Case closed, there is no possible further appeal.

No, but the frame had winning pedigree.

I generally only ride/race off-road except for commuting to work. However I did take few moments to look into this bucket racing shenanigans thing and noted the model restrictions. If they did make xr100 and/or crf100/150f bikes (both frames and engines) legal I would be interested in having a crack at it. The crf 150 is hardly different from the fxr so I don't see why it isn't allowed. I note pit bikes are allowed but I think the frames on them are too flimsy for my liking.

I can understand them refusing to allow the crf150r as they are a different ball game entirely and would easily smack down the fxr.

My interpretation is that the CRF 100 / 150s are legal as they are a trail bike the R model is obviously illegal. I'm confident enough that I have used the 100 motor in an F5 build and a interested to see the outcome if anyone is keen enough to stump up the cash for a protest.
I also don't think the frames aren't really what's required which is why I went down the engine transplant route instead of just fitting some other rims to a dirt bike.
Your mileage of course may vary.

I love my RG, but I have done so much work to it to get it to handle and have good power. If I had to pay someone to do the work I have done ,it would be a 10K+ build and it is still a work in progress. That bike of yours is such a nice bike to ride. Thanks for sharing. Nice power and the frame seems so much better without the 150 in it. It has my vote. A way cheeper bike to build and an easier bike to ride than the RG.

I don't really have a problem with the engine's mentioned at all. From memory they are all 2 valve longish stroke engines the same as a lunchen. What's the problem. Those 100 engine's could be the saver of F5 and also a way of getting more kids into the sport. Let them play I say.

"xr100 and/or crf100/150f bikes (both frames and engines) legal I would" ..............they are legal so do it.

The CRF100/XR100 are trail bikes they actually are homologated for the trail bike class in the MNZ mini rules.

They are clearly trail/fun bikes as are the the CRF/XR50's

The crf150f are also trail/fun bikes.

The CRF150R is an out and out competition MX bike. So it is illegal.

Hmmm, so if MNZ have a trail bike class in Mini MX does it therefore mean they are competition bikes?
