Nope, afaik the only reg (apart from engine capacity) is the fuel type. Not allowed some flashy fuel types, but they are banned for all classes of racing.

Its pretty self regulating, since you can only buy a few different bikes and NZ doesn't have the big money like europe (i.e. 100k+ to spend on a bike) there are no opportunities to cheat.

Why would they need to be? If someone thinks they can do a better job than honda or yamaha then so be it. If bradley smith wanted to do some winter riding then there is nothing stopping him coming over and breaking a few lap records.

It's an open class dude - the only regs are engine capacity and fuel, nothing else. build one if you like, or use a road based frame, there's nothing stopping anyone doing it - except common sense !
125's are a GP bike based class, and the rules are just nothing like the production classes.
Cool, eh ?

[Yow Ling]

there isa general tech section in the rules (chapter 10) that all bikes must adhere to. there are no specil rules for 125 gp bikes or 250 gp bikes, maybe they just figured the cream will rise to the top. its not a proddy class where people may cheat , its a gp class where innovation is welcomed. the only limit is the displacment

what do these bikes usually weight?

[Dom]

what do these bikes usually weight?

Normally in the bracket of high 60's low 70's. It hard to lighten these little fellas as not much to them in the first place

what do these bikes usually weight?

I weighed mine at 72kg wet with no fuel. As dom said, there is not a whole heap to do to loose weight. You can spend a few grand on carbon fairings etc and that might gain you 1-2kg but apart from that it is very little gains to be had. Unless you have some serious dosh it is hard to get them much lighter/faster than they come off the assembly line.
