[speights_bud]

FYI but probably old news by now....

"Australian Motorcycle racer Damian Cudlin has launched KAYO GP AUSTRALIA, teaming with KAYO MOTO to become the sole Australian distributor of KAYO MiniGP motorcycles.

The MINIGP MR150 was designed to fill a void- providing a road racing quality motorcycle at an affordable price. The 150cc four-stroke machine features Upside Down Forks, an adjustable Rear Shock, Disc Brakes, and Racing Slicks. There is also a huge selection of tuning parts available via the Kayo GP Australia website"...

Very interesting.

The rules for Miniature RR specify that the motor must come from a Non competition motorcycle. Those motors look like pretty basic and non competition crate engines out of China.

I suppose, to meet the rules you could buy a crate motor or two and a complete rolling chassis, bolt them up and then legally go Bucket racing with 12" wheels and maybe 11 hp (a std FXR150 is 14rwhp). For about $3,499 Aud plus accessories and shipping, say $5.5k Aud all up.

It used to be that a Bucket racer made their own bike, but this might be an easy $5-6,000 NZD buy in option, Food for thought.

Great little package to get the kids on track. I am sure if you turned up at any bucket meeting with one and a keen youngster there would no problem at all.

They look good there are similar ones from the states that use a lay down engine
