The cheater MX85 argument. I might be changing my mind.

[mr bucketracer]

Because they don't sound like a racebike & don't feel as exciting to ride.

thats just you

[F5 Dave]

only my wife gets to ride me. Whether its exciting or not is tough luck. She signed some sort of contract, I remember that much.

[husaberg]

Because I love 2 strokes. Why shouldn't I be able to race one?

Some of us like real bikes not diesels. Are you planning on banning two strokes mr 'I love Honda' bucket racer?

But you are still allowed currently?
100 and a bit cc based on a non comp engine.
or 125 AC with a 24mm carb based on a non comp engine.

If it ain't smokin', it's broken.

As I said: you need to be an expert with a dyno and a large wallet to even be mid pack. A std FXR leaves them for dead on every track until they are modified to the point of exploding and then they are generally left behind by the modified FXRs.

So how would a MX85 would change all that?

[Skunk]

Bolt it in and ride. My TF is 9hp. MX85 should be 17hp.

To be clear - I can build a bike but I can't do porting, swish and jetting. MX85 comes already set.

[Kickaha]

Don't we all just want a 30hp bucket?

No we all don't, because if we all got 30HP Buckets then everyone will start to want 40HP Buckets etc etc

200cc - must be single cylinder 2 valvers

Mint, those DR200 motors I've got will come in handy after all

Why shouldn't I be able to race one?

Because you fuck everyone of them you ride

[Skunk]

Nope, never fucked a 2 stroke bucket. Only 4 strokers.

im happy left alone but will it stay that way?

[cotswold]

tell me why you don't want a clean burning 4 stroker?

They sound shite and gear changes are fun

[Skunk]

The question that needs answering is how much CAN be got from them and what needs to be done to restrict it. Like the 125 AC are with the carb.

Do you ride your bike i only ever see you working on it

Seeing as you live in Wellington Why not ask Dave or someone how many $ for 18hp.
bet its cheaper than buying and then rebuilding a beaten up mx85.....unless you already have one available?
The MX85 will still likely need rejetting and a pipe.............

[Skunk]

Too much. I already know what's needed for 20hp.

An MX85 will turn up at a cheaper price.

Maybe the pipe needs to be std as a restriction...
