Also wondering if anyone knows if Honda are going to bring the CBR150 into NZ, could be an awesome cut-price learner bike that would be a brilliant reliable cheap to run commuter/courier.

hmmm.. yep, he sure does look like one! though not mine haha

you allowed 150's in bucket racing?

**vtec** · 13th June 2006, 00:48

Yep, I'm pretty sure I read about some bucket racing involving FXR150's. This is pretty much exactly the same thing as the FXR's... only a Honda, and cooler looking.

Still haven't done any research about compliance difficulties here in NZ, as I don't think there have been any imported here yet. Blue Wing won't get back to me by email. So I'll just keep looking into it.

2 classes in bucket racing, iirc:
50cc 2 stroke and 100 4 stroke
100cc 2 stroke and 150cc 4 stroke...

Saw at least one fxr on the weekend at the mt wellington racing, and another that could have been.

I doubt that the cbr150r will be brought in at a distributor level, as they have been available in overseas markets for a few years I think. I would guess this is because of the much stricter license conditions (think EU)

Now there's a surprise. You realise they refer to themselves in the third person as "God"?

**limbimtimwim** · 13th June 2006, 07:48

I thought it was the royal 'We' they referred to themselves as..

The funny thing about the CBR150 is that it has HOW many cylinders? How many cylinders does every other CBR have?

It is missing three.

And I think that guy deserves points for doing a burnout.

And those women are bloody attractive.

I really don't think the Spencer family need any more money.

in about 03 honda imported some CBR 125-R's, boyd's had one, i think they only got 3 -5 of em in the country.
a bit pricey, around the 5k mark.(i think)
nice bikes though, better finished than the FXR.
oh, that ad is bloody cheesy, like the mag and turbo ad on prime!
