The gearbox is the standard 4 speed and the tank is standard. Everything else on the bike is modified in some way now.
Wheels are 17".

I think that's a good idea though I'd go with splitting along the lines of perimeter frame and backbone frame.
I feel that's the handling difference. Some of the steel perimeter frames are very good.

And as I have one of each I'd have to chose which sub-class I'm trying to get points in before the season starts!

In Christchurch they have a Proddy class and Superbucket class. Proddy for unmodified buckets, and Superbucket for those with any mods. They also run FXRs as a separate class as on their track the FXR has a longer legs than most other buckets. Seems to work well and they all race as one.

almost but not quite: FXRs run as superbuckets, cos we decided they weren't in the "spirit " of the proddy class (which is more to encourage newbies on stock bikes)... and cos they are quite a bit faster than the proddies, and almost all the FXRs run slicks so dont qualify as proddy anyway.
We did have a motofxr class last year for a bit of a laugh, they may not do it this year.
