So a CBR150 isnt a road bike?

Anyway that OW2 is a road legal road bike, isnt it?

I don't know where the hell people get the idea that a bucket has to be based on a road bike........ It sure isn't in the rules.

The rules don't even say that about engines, only that the engine can't be derived from a competition bike.

If you ruled out all the bikes that didn't start life as road bikes you'd essentially cut out about 30% of fleet. Have you seen the bikes based 125GP chassis? and the ones based on off road-bikes? They're all legal buckets

Anyway the 02W is seriously cool and I'd race one. Allthough, according to manufacturers specs at the flywheel, the FXR has more HP than the CBR engine.

Good point.

As far as bling goes remember it don't have to be shiny to look cool. Black Bling works, and comes in a can for about 10 bucks.
