2017 Proposed Bucket Rule Changes.

Container from Indonesia or it's a bit pointless.

Now there's an idea...

Doubtful - remember the CBR150's had an international series too in which people like Avalon came to notice....But the road versions are perfectly acceptable in F4.
A GSXR150 bought straight out of that series - probably ineligible. But a bike sold as a road bike ? I see no problems.

Seeing as it would have been derived from a non competition bike before it was a competion bike it would be perfectly elegible, so what other competition bikes are derived from non competition bikes which you could argue would make them eligible, and what non competition bikes are derived from competion bikes , what came first TF125 or RM125A ?

There is a thread where a guy offered to do that.

Spoke to a guy on Sunday who had been to somewhere in Asia with the idea of shipping back a bunch of bits while he was there. He basically commented that they don't have wreckers there but keep stuff going forever. I guess shipping back whole bikes could be an option.

I have this vision of opening up a shipping container and there being stacks of fxrs just waiting to be hacked up.

You make a good - if convoluted - point. If the TF and RM parts are the same number, no problem. Same criteria across other manufacturers too IMO.

But if a half days run of GSXR150's are pulled off the line, have all the road gear pulled off them and other things changed too. Then are supplied to the organisers of a race series as race bikes.....They're race bikes IMO.
Or alernatively as the Trump camp would argue, they're factory converted Bucket racers....

Don't ask me to sit on an appeal jury please.

A friend wanted to get a speedway small car class going here using bike engines. In the course of his work he was in the Phillipines and discovered that the motor he wanted - a Kawasaki - was manufactured there. He talked to the factory and they were happy to supply him with as many engine/carb/ignition packages as he wanted. A Kawasaki 400 twin 4 stroke engine package for $1200NZ landed here.

Anyone going to Thailand ?
