    Looking @ building a bucket

    Right well as the title says I am looking in to building a bucket for shits and giggles.

    Now the noob questions.
    Am I better off with a 2 or 4 stroke, Whats a good frame to use?.
    Wheels, tyres? blah blah blah.

    Also I am trying to do this as cheap as possible as I am racing a real bike this year as well.
    Cheers

    Forget it mate - concentrate on one project at a time.

    K3 Gixxer race bike seems like the project to be focusing on !!

    Do what deano says .. one project at a time .. and buy the extra bucket I have in the garage ... its a cd125 in a RG150 frame.

    It's quite well put together too, Driftn. Well worth looking at.

    if you are quick 2 strokes is just bearly enough
    if you take a while you may be better with 4 strokes

    you need round wheels and black sticky rubber

    and i would get a going bucket to start with

    $300- $900 should get you a going bucket (dont expect a flash one )

    driftn would be a two-stroke guy. Not in the way you impiled B4M either.

    When you're fit come to the Slipway and have a skid, you can have a go on the 'sled and I'm sure someone will give you a go on an oilburner.

    You'll soon figure what suits you sir.

    If its only for shits and giggles what does it matter if it's a 2 or 4 stroke, or what frame you use wheels, tyres? blah blah blah.

    Just asking these questions gives the game away:- You are more serious than you let on, you actually want to win, don't you.

    Great stuff!!

    A FXR gets you out there quickly and there is a bunch of guys peddling them really quickly at Mt Welly.

    Then the CB125T's cheaper but needs more hands on maintenance and initial setting up.

    Lastly the GP125 2-stroke really cheep to buy initially but takes a serious amount of work and $$$$ to get competitive.

    And then if your really serious, a GP125 in a RS chasis has got to be the go, a good rider with one of these would be a serious threat.

    What you don't pay in $$$ to buy you pay in getting it competitive.
