What's to know?

[imdying]

i had a 4.2 that was slightly modded and it was alot faster than a zpf.....i mean it was better handling and the acceleration was also alot better.....and then a 4.2 will still beat a zpf on the straight.....but its all down to the rider

You didn't answer the question.

[DELLORTO]

You didn't answer the question.

ok yes a stock polini 4.2 is faster than a stock zpf

[Z1_ZPF_BOY]

maybe, but my ZPF is standard and your Polini isn't.

Liam was racing a B1 on Sunday and boy that beast can fly, he was right on my tail... and for a few laps, in front of me!

remeber he has been racing pocket bikes before you even no they exsisted......

Cheers. Now, you have one for sale? How much do you want for it? You're happy to give it some decent packaging and freight it down to me? We've had one from Wellington and one from Auckland, both cost us $50 in freight, I can let you know which companies were used if that would help. If what you have for sale isn't a 4.2, what is it, and where does it fit into our Daytona/B2 rep/ZPF rep collection performance wise?


As for the other off topic stuff, I just need information, not to hear pissing contests or chest beating or whatever, plenty of other threads we can fag up with that lot (you have to remember I'm in Chch, none of that crap means anything to me, I don't know 'Liam' from Adam etc)

Definitely feel free to add information that you think is relevant though

i did have one for sale but since it was the newest polini in new zealand and it was a good bike i sold i in a couple of hours, brett might have his black on for sale which would be priced around $1200 and it would be alot faster than a zpf, its modified like crazy

if he dosnt want to sell that hes got his 911 rep for sale which is a very fast bike 8hp+ and he wants $750 for that email him at www.pocketdyno.co.nz

he sells realy good bikes which are always reliable.....also he has all the parts

Heh, reliable is probably more important than fast at this stage... we're still falling off on a regular basis

[DELLORTO]

maybe, but my ZPF is standard and your Polini isn't.

my polini was only slightly modded.....and remembering its air cooled and has a carburetor thats 5mm smaller.....

Im mean zpf's are good bikes but there rather underpowered for what they are.....kx65 motorcross bike is only 25cc bigger and its 18hp.....how does that work?? and even my rm85 which is 26hp is only just 45cc bigger than a polini gp3 rep motor and a gp3 rep motor puts out around 9hp......

its just abit weird to me my old polini on the other hand wasnt going to win any "HP" competitons....

[DELLORTO]

Heh, reliable is probably more important than fast at this stage... we're still falling off on a regular basis

well if you want reliable bike bretts are very reliable....i brought 2 gp3's off him and ive never had to use a can of "engine start" ......

if you want a nice reliable bike my gp3 is for sale.....ive painted the frame black and it comes with lots of spares

[imdying]

Remember, peak horsepower isn't everything, spread is just as important, inflexible motors aren't enjoyable to ride.

I'll have a think about the GP3.

Hi Imdying, if your wanting a quality bike and great reliability along with helpful advice to boot. Talk to Greg Oldridge(XTREME). He sells the gp3 air-cooled and water-cooled, he also sells ZPF Rep's and Banshee's and some italian bikes... visit his website www.xminimoto.co.nz or drop him a PM http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=13965

Your getting a bit of miss info there imdying.... I'v been racing minimoto since 2004 and if I jumped on a Polini 4.2 then on a ZPF rep I would get better lap times from the ZPF because it has more toque then the 4.2. Max is just compairing the 4.2 to other bikes he has raced againsted and he would be the lightest in the class. He is a good rider don't get me wrong but ZPF boy is just a starter and he shouldn't compair the two bikes from how they placed on race day... as there is a great difference in weight and ability between the riders.... ZPF boy has come along way from round one to round two tho and I can see great things from him once he makes it to senior class.... he'll be giving me a good run for my money.

[Z1_ZPF_BOY]

thanks for that bit of encouragement Gadgit, it's much appreciated.

Heh, yeah your father already made me buy a ZPF rep from him, it'll be here before the weekend

Thanks for that, I did wonder if a flatter torque curve was just as important on a mini moto as it is on a regular bike, seemed likely that that would be the case.


So what does the 4.2 stand for? kW?

[Z1_ZPF_BOY]

4.2 is referring to HP
