    Also, the bikes aren't coming from Sloan. Suzuki New Zealand are supplying the bikes.

    The sad part is they wont even be competitive. Other than looking good in the pits, the bling will make them unsuitable for NI cart tracks and I cant see them being within 15 seconds a lap of the fastest buckets in Chch.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    Of course they are. I claim the priviledge of old age - cynicism. I see the new lightweight production class going great guns with big entries - and no Suzuki marketed here to suit the class. In order to get potential customers into the habit of buying Suzukis, lets introduce a class to suit us....
    They've done it before and it's worked for them.
    Wouldn't surprise me to find a remit going forward "for the good of the sport "....and a major sponsor.

    Amend the rule to 158cc maximum, no allowance for overbores problem solved and adds more bikes to the Bucket pool

    I know the difference between boring and honing. But the rules don't make a distinction. I'd argue all day that removing any material from the cylinder makes the bike fit into the over bore allowance within the rules. It's be a real fickwit that protested them anyway.

    The only reason the bucket racing was suggested is to add value in track time for the kids that'll be racing the things. It's not like they'd keep up with an FXR.

    The fuck are you smoking man? No one is talking about cheating in the gixxer cup. The point of contention is that the bikes aren't bucket legal off the shelf, but people will want to race them in buckets too.

    If it was up to me I'd be happy that they raced.

    But as I no longer race Buckets I should shut the fuck up.


    As long as they are properly nylon'd as well. For kart tracks.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    FFS, if you hone it or rebore it to an oversize, the piston will be bigger, if the piston or bore is bigger it wont be Gixxer eligible but will be ok for a bucket
    Are they plated bores or Iron bores.

    Individual clubs may allow them to compete in buckets, MCI will certainly allow them in the Supersport 150 class, maybe not as buckets but in the up to 250 4 stroke class

    How big is the Gixxer grid now? are they going to have enough for a class? will they travel to the SI for the nationals , I dont think there are any down here
    My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues

    They'll have to, according to Robert Cochrane they're going to replace 250 development at a National level

    Factual Facts are based on real Fact and Universal Truths. Alternative Facts by definition are not based on Truth.

    I'm working on the theory it's a steal cylinder. Running hone down it won't alter anything for the gixxer cup.

    There's no way cheat really. The bikes are completely stock except for the pipe, which is SNZ supplied on the bike. And no one else makes a pipe for them anyway.

    I thought having a one colour paint job makes them ineligible for bucket racing anyway?

    You're probably right.
