Pit bike as a bucket

[Ivan]

Hey I was wondering is it legal to race a pit bike as a bucket?
If so Im thinking of getting one.

But I am keeping my eyes pen for a bigger bike that is in the bucket rules to

[CookMySock]

I don't think so, coz its a "race" engine.

Yes, pit-bikes are competition bikes AFAIK (prove me wrong though ) and therefore are not any different to using MX bikes as they are built with the intention of racing (well, are nowadays anyway).

Exactly what I thought damn it.
Would be a perfect bike for slipway as its so small itd corner so fast.

Ohwell I might just have to wait until one of them CB125T's appear

However, at the end of the day we have a Vespa which is nearly 200cc racing out there, + the occasional pitbike or 2 so as long as it's not a points race I don't think anyone would care.
Just taking it to the Nationals may prove to be an issue though.....

We have a couple of pit bikes running with the buckets here in Auckland, not sure about the legality or even what class they fit in but they do run........

Yeah its pretty much sweet eh. They are pretty average speed at the end of the day. I know Koba race's one and he's around 1 - 4th in the B class.
But in saying that his is fooked.
But there is another guy who race's em and it goes quite well but still not amazlingly well too be a threat to the "Fast" guys.

Meh i reckon you have more of a chance of coming last in A grade with an average stock CB125T vs a Pit bike 125cc or 110cc.
Its not about the bike at the end of the day anyway. (up to a point)

Who care's about winning its only buckets.

Bollocks.
And here is the proof:

Thumpstar Roadripper (another example)

The engines in most of thge cheap chines ones aren't any where near as good as the Thumpstars either.
Mine has this engine (or one just like it) in it.
It is a copy of a honda CT110 I believe, so it is at least as eligable as the 150 Loncin

[koba]

As for being competitive....
It could be done, Mine has a Decent power to weight ratio and the engine is reasonable quality but the frame and suspension are diabolically shit!
Being tall would make it farken hard for you Ivan.

I think Using the engine in another very light frame with a reasonable amount of work done to make it faster would lead to a qucik bike but there are probably easier ways to get a bike that quick...
