Yeah I figured the electric bucket would never show, well it hasn't so far- so prove me wrong.
Go the 50's. Fishy had his 50 out last dry Kiatoke meet & it was a hoot having someone to ride against. AA took his 50 out & loved it. Certainly something that a 50 has that inspires in the riding experience with only so much power that a bigger bike doesn't.
Don't you look at my accountant.

The electric bucket would be interesting.Originally Posted by F5 Dave
I have had a few rides on Buckets4me's 50 and really enjoyed it. So very keen to get mine going. My biggest hurdle is keeping to the 50cc limit, as all the decent pistons are about 43-44mm. I am making another de-stroked crank, the first proved to loose in the pinholes but at least I found it could be done and am working on another one that hopefully will fit up OK.
In B grade they keep knocking each other off, lack of experience I guess and A grade is a bit over subscribed at the mo so I think F5 should be fun, and with another 10 years development on my bike I might be able to give you a decent race for your money, until then I will have fun making up the numbers on the grid.

there is quite a cool rg150 converted in to an electric bike here. i'd like to build a good 50, just seem to have no time!

You will need better forks and complete rear end to keep up. They will both twist and flex if pushed especially at a Track like Taupo. Ditch the RG50 calipers too. I know where there is a bridged exhaust port RG50 cylinder if you are interested.

Chambers intends putting his old GP forks into his 50.
I will get it going first and then I was thinking about re-cycling the GP forks or even some RG250 ones. I have a spare frame and some forks, so after I get this one going I will look at improvements.
Forum whore
well I ran around Taupo 2 years in a row in 4th till I had trouble finished 5th the first year, the second year I was beating F5Dave for quite a few laps (till he got the bike going and off the start line)
and all with the standard rg50 frame forks and brakes
guess it's not what you ride but who els is riding at the same time

Yeah I replaced the whole damn carb now, was getting sick of that whole "will it flood won't it?" silly non replaceable float jets.

how can the 50cc gp title be up for grabs at two events in the same year ????
wish I could make it down that way but the Doctor may have something to say about it (if not him she who holds the purse strings)

It isn't, it is only up for grabs down here, you work it out

Unless Gosper gets all keen though he has a bit of catching up to do now I think.

There are a few 50's down here but as we run larger tracks no one really bothers with them, the bike I rode last year was raced in the 50cc NZGP back in the eighties and is RM50 based
