    That $50 Probably grows substantially when doing a bulk deal direct from the manufacturer.

    Well if someone had wanted the bikes to be eligible for two classes they should have done a bulk deal for a version under 150cc.
    There should be a version somewhere as they'll miss out on a hell of lot of asian race classes if there isn't.

    I'm not the one suggesting someone is being dishonest.

    I don't know the particulars, but I love the way you cunts seem to know the ins and outs of how much SNZ are buying their stock for.

    The good thing about Buckets is that the engine capacity does not have to be class legal to start with, it could be de stroked, sleeved down or re bored, anything that meets the class capacity requirements.

    154 OEM is not legal but being re bored would allow you to run 158cc, So freshen it up with a re bore and then you would be legal....... ... easy as.

    But then its not legal for Gixers, but they want both. And buckets has to pay, Frost already said on face book that the Gixer will be carefully monitored for modifications. So buckets its up to you to let them in , Venter said it would be easy to change the bucket rules

    "Liam Venter I am sure that a rule amendment change could be made to accommodate these in bucket racing. Where there is a will there is a way and us bucket racers are pragmatic and flexible.

    Rule changes are closed for this year

    "Sloan M Frost Found the rules, technically the engine needs to be rebored but its allowed up to 158cc

    No not Technically, actually rebored

    "Sloan M Frost I read the rules MikeStein, it says max capacity for rebored engines. Doesn't say where they need to start. You could have a 1000cc engine rebored to 158cc it would fit within the rules.

    "Sloan M Frost Where does it say rebored engines must be under 150cc before they are rebored? Pretty sure a bunch of 2 strokes are rebored to get them within the capacity but start life larger

    It says it in the rules under the capacity part

    "Sloan M Frost That's your interpretation GavinMenting. Also doesn't say a minimum rebore amount. Rebore the cylinder 1 millionth over the rings will seal nicely

    So rebored engines are ok in Gixxer cup?

    I thought the cash cow Bucket class was self policing....

    Well, lets hope each bike comes with a gasket set from Mr Frost as it seems likely anyone fronting with one as a bucket will be required to strip it for measurement...

    So clearly if someone were to pull the barrel off and give it a hone, the bike becomes legal since bore material has been removed and it's now in the over bore section of the rules.
