    SR etc, you are assuming that people have time to service the bikes and stuff too. Some just want to go racing and don't care if they're not competitive. They want to buy something cheap and not have to take time to pull it down regularly and the normal down-side to that is you'll get blown away. The answer is to make a class with stock everything pretty much. Frame, motor etc. Just change shocks (to a class standard?) front forks brakes wheels and tyres. I don't see that this would compete with any other race classes where bike developments play a good part in speed and the stock motor classes where you need to buy a frame at great cost if you want to run well. I really respect people who make the sacriface financially and in time to go racing, what a worthwile thing to do! Fricken awesome! Also with 2 strokes being banned for the environment? I don't doubt you but WTF? 4 strokes still aren't being driven anywhere, you have spectators vehicles, the impact of the actual track and at a higher level the sponsorship $$ are only worth it to the sponsors because they lead to consumers buying mainly electronis and stuff! People are wastefull in general and I'd be suprised if stopping 2 stroke racing/riding will make any difference! What kind of airmiles etc for and Iraq war or two? Should ban those!

    If your after a Cheap non compeditive race class, go to street stock

    remeber we are talking about RACING here where the goal is to win. What everyone is trying to do it create a class that is cheap enough for most people to be compeditive in.

    As for 125s and being high in maintainace??

    500kms on a piston will last a season. i can easily do one in 30 mins.. try do an oil change on any other bike that quick!

    Changing the oil is a common that relates to ANY bike if it's looked after.

    2000kms you have to do a crank. It cost me $600 for ALL the bearings seals and piston kit and crank. It took me 3 hours to do the WHOLE rebuild.

    Now tell me if that is excessive??

    Again look at the prices. The RS is SO cheap. $600 for a full motor worth of parts?? Good luck finding them anywhere else!

    And also if you do screw up and crash.. (like i have just done) I bent forks, tripple clamps...

    All the new parts for my forks cost me $500.

    Thats both lower fork legs. with all new seals bushes clips etc.
    and a new front axel.. and new wheel bearings.. handle bars

    You WILL not find anything cheaper than these bike's when it comes to serious compeditve racing!!

    I think the reason a bike like this "chewtires" would be more of a question of tyre choice and suspension setup. I did approximately five solid hours on a dunlop slick on my old YZ motard and you know how I used to ride that thing Ivan. In simple terms, same motor, different suspension.
    As I said earlier development for competition never ends and

    That roland sands bike... r u sure it's an MX frame? i watched jace easton at aperon, spectacular, i helped him get his bike off his ute, light as. never touched a 125GP, but i LOVE the 2smokers, (anyone got 2smoker road 250, cash waiting), sad they'll disappear. i remember the robert holden supermono, nice bike. the 4t's should be a separate class, and not associated with the 125/250GP's, which are definitely more exciting than watching stoner win all the time.

    bling gav for the PB bike pr0n.

    Sure is, KX450 frame. Hard to tell from the photos but I wouldn't be surprised if its had a little "chop" job done on the steering head. This thing would be quite a different animal from Jasons bike more 250GP size not like the midget machine 125 size torture device (the opinion of a champion pie eater).

    Cheap 93 Rs125 on trademe at the moment if anyone's keen to give it a go.

    Would like to try 125's myself one day, but think my weight (80kgs)would be a big disadvantage compared to you feather weights.

    Would the rider weight issue be more or less of a problem compared to riding streetstock bikes?

    Seems the 450 single concept might be gaining some ground.

    Thats not cheap, thats a ripoff. He's dreaming. Cheap is what I sold my 91 for ($1000).
