Engine Size Questions

[Yow Ling]

There's a big 'IF'.

I don't see it replacing the current development class. And using something the supposed promoter said to think different would make someone as big a fuckwit as he is.

So we can agree on something !

No its Suzuki's and MNZ's answer to the future of road racing....... unlike MCI's junior training, Supersport 150 and 250 proddy already offers .

That is not what the OP's apparent purpose of this thread is.

Scrap metal prices are going up

And Buckets need to add value to the buyers? and your sponsors, why?? the benefit to Buckets??? What is your point exactly.

Buckets don't need to do anything at all. It's been covered that the bikes can be made legal for buckets whether you cunts like it or not.

That the promoter is a waste of MNZ members money?

Refer my post #33 - I'm not seeing or hearing anything to change my opinion...

If they are indeed going to replace 250 development at the nats it's an indication of just how much influence Suzuki NZ has here....
A good thing ? I don't know.

Possibly their influence is directly related to how much cash they may be pumping into the sport, in order for people to go racing.
Im sure any other manufacturers NZ importer could achieve the same for the same amount.

I'd pay the gate fee to hear you pronounce the names.....

gonna be enough trouble with all the bikes being the same colour and the riding gear being the same too.....

I'm rather fond of small handsome motorbikes, but that right there cured me of this particular one.

It did at the 2017 NZSBK

Get a bunch of people on bikes the same it doesn't matter how little the HP figure is

Na, I meant just to look at.

It would be a very brave or stupid Steward that would approve a 16yr old novice to race on a street circuit.....oh wait.....

I forgot that I posted this question. Yes, the point of it was to understand if the new Gixxer 150 would be technically legal to race in Buckets.

They are a lower spec bike than the popular FXR150 and the class Suzuki Cup class rules don't allow them to be modified for extra power so my only motivation was to be able to give the young guys/girls that buy these bikes an opportunity to get out at the bucket track on their bikes, it's cheaper for them to practice, it is great for the sport and developing young riders.

I know the Wellington Bucket guys have been supportive. I think Auckland would. There is racing at Tokaroa now? They might be happy. Christchurch already has great development programs for young riders so it doesn't matter if those guys don't want it happening down there.

So the official answer to the question was yes, if the bikes are re-bored then they would be legal for bucket racing but not legal for the Suzuki cup.
