Hey Sketchy,
No.1 Build looks awesome!
Can't wait to see this up and running at Kaitoke soon?
Seems any pitbike engine just became illegal for bucket racing?
Might just be me, but I'm confusssssssed?The short answer is no!!!
These are buit as a motorcross machine and as pathetically slow as they are,They are still outside the rules,If we let the chinese MX bikes in then we can't really stop the Japanese ones either.

Motorcycling NZ.. Does a "pathetically slow" chinese pitbike engine qualify as a "competition engine" ?
It might surprise you to know, that unless Billy gets that put in the rules ( which is not as easy as it sounds), his interpretation of what that bike and more is means little or nothing at all. At least until it's formally looked into.
Depends on who you ask. The pitbike thing was hugely competitive over here a few years ago. (and apparently with a quick google search still is)

The list goes on.
If I take a lawn mower and start a race class for it, that is not a racing machine, it's a machine that gets raced.
There are manufacturers assembling those motors from off the shelf parts and flogging them as race motors, but it aint what they were built as or for.
It's all moot anyway. Someone protest them and see what happens.
That's how I see it, and my experience on a bucket means fuck all as to my reading comprehension.
