    I rode it not long after Dangerous got it, at Levels on the back straight DC said top end speed was the same but he held better corner speed, I think at the time DC still had the 100cc engine

    DC obviously had the better chassis, however the Dangerous bike could easily be improved but he has chosen to ignore the advice of those of us that rode it and offered advice on improving it

    I wouldn't have offered a straight swap for the FXR if I'd have thought it wasn't capable of being right up the front

    Forum name should stay the same

    yes it WAS as fast top end but since my exhaust port needed tiding up its been running like a bag of shit.

    EDIT, going to start a new thread on Ging bashing... I men sorting the MT out on VD.

    go watch the vid I took.......youre bike out drags my FXR in a straight line......YOU are the problem? Get it going a round corners and you will be further up the front.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    I like the term Buckets; its quirky, unique, and fun... really epitomises what Buckets are all about.

    Funnily enough, I reckon Street stock will have the same issue, cos its kinda hard to explain to people what Streetstock is at times.. not that I race in the class.

    The History of F4 F5

    Around 1997 there were many asking for diesel capacity to be lifted to 140cc or 145cc so as they could more evenly compete with the 2 strokes. Tracks then were generally much more open and flowing. I put pen to paper and wrote up new rules to tidy up capacity classes and submitted them as F4 and F5 as this seem a natural progression of a formula class, which allows modifications and main limiting factor is capacity. That is what appears in rulebook basically unchanged. Buckets will always be Buckets, F4 and F5 are just the capacity class rules within Buckets. Miniature Road Race is original definition used the MNZ rule book when class was implemented.
