There ya go. Road rims and gear it up a touch, fuckin racing baby!

It's outside the era that Glen posted, pre 2000 ...

Minilites could be a good class, make it two stroke only and replace F5, the RG50's could run in this class and any 4 stroke F5's out there .... oh well, something has to go I guess ....

Why bother? The rules allow for Aprilia 50's, install a 80/90cc bolt up kit on to one of these and hay presto 24hp and completely within the rules, maybe not in the spirit of bucket racing but certainly within the rules!

and they are really common.....not...

2001 YZ is unchanged from the 2000

Why does anything need to go. Bikes powered with these motors are not gonna be so much better than what's out there now, that they are dangerous to put on the track at the same time. They are just available.

Exactly my point, the ability to achieve the equivalent of 80cc MX mother already exists, you just have to chuck a whole lot of money at it, or I can use my CR80 motor that cost me less than a fucken piston for the aprillia. Fuck the rules, it's called discretion for a typical club day (NZGPs and championships run under MNZ are little different)

I remember about 8 years ago I turned up to buckets with a FXR150 and got the shit ripped out of me because my bike cost me $500 and was far to flash for bucket, amazing how much buckets have changed over the time which it needs to though.

24 ponies at horrendous cost...if you can find it all.

Silly; $500 bucks 8 years ago was a steal... I paid more than that 18 years ago for my second bike....

Is that $500 FXR the one you sold to Buddha for $1000? Nice work, young man!!
And yeah I seem to remember Buddha getting shit too for paying THAT much for a bucket too!

I can't see running a MX 80 as being a cheap option though ....

You know that if you build it come racing we will give you shit for 5 minutes then have a blast out on track. So much bullshit on this site. I look forward to rubbing elbows again. Also will be great to have you back sharing knowledge. Would be cool if you could help mentor some of the new guys and girls.

Second that.

Perhaps with the permission of the Welly bucket guys you could run the bike at an event and see how it compares, depending on how it goes maybe even put a remit forward to get the rules changed to allow them

I paid $500 for my first GN about 12 years ago but that was going rate for a quick one then

The season before I paid $600 for the FXR Buddha didn't want and hammered him all season long on it

Bullshit. A full kit will cost you 300 euros, the bikes are dirt cheap and handle well enough in stock setup and there are spares for Africa. Use the net old fella, its your new best friend.
Frits has just left a post on the "intent of rules" on the ESE thread which I fully agree with. The rules have a huge loop hole which allow shit hot euro hot up kits which cost bugger all to be used in Buckets, who needs to change the rules to use dirty old crossers? I have plenty of good shit sitting in the shed to but I dont go around asking people to change the rules so I can use them in a class they're not designed for.
Phew thats so antagonistic - I feel awesome, this keyboard sparing is fantastic!!!

Fixed it, all legal and your good to go, no one will be the wiser.
