The RG seized

[riffer]

Bugger about the RG Daniel. Still, it means that you can have one good one now.

And that NC30 looks sweet!

[dogsnbikes]

what a bugger and didnt you have your helmet taken not long ago ?

Not having much luck are you

[pritch]

And with the amount of k's I do the top oil would've cost way too much

In all of the stuff I see in the Brit bike mags about high performance two strokes: RG, NS, RS, etc(?), they always say to use only the most expensive oils.

Despite RG150s being used in streetstock, they're not high performance machines. They're simply commuters

Was that you at the lights today, going on to the silverstream bridge?
Number 143 or something on the back of it?

Buggered btw! oh well u have a spare rg dont u?

Haha, yes i was. And that must be you on the trail bike, looked pretty cool

Number 132

[Coyote]

Oh that's shit.

On the other hand, spare motor, and a single cylinder MX motor would be fantastic in that other frame

And! you got a VFR! Shit, you said you'd got a 400cc bike, and you wrote `Nighthawk' in your profile, I thought you'd gone and got a CB400N -- was wondering why until I read this. Congrats!

RG100 and I had been discussing a while back about getting a 450 MX engine and putting it in my RG. All my money will be going towards paying off the VFR though

I thought Nighthawk would be a fitting name, just like how I called the RG Purple Fury. Then again the Nighthawk is a squarish looking jet and the VFR is pretty curvy

Indeed. And I might've not got the shipping addresses to biketranz in time (the truck goes to pick up all the bikes tomorrow, not sure if they read their emails before then). I might have to take my crappy BMX to school for another week. I already had some girls laugh at me on it on the way to work and it's starting to creak and I expect it to break in half

Oil is cheaper than a engine

By one good one you really mean one crappy looking race bike and another bike in peices right?

My plans to build up the second RG to sell and pay off some of the VFR debt have gone out the window. I'll be putting the second bikes engine into this seized RG to get that going. As for the second one, no use trying to fix the seized engine as it's likely to cost around $1500 to repair so I may as well buy a new engine for it. Anyway, an RG engine wouldn't do it's nice looking frame justice

And it looks sweet in the photos. Haven't seen it myself, buying blind

You're kidding?

Only my brother's and Dad's bikes get the finest oil. Dad pays $60 a litre for the stuff that goes into them. I however have to pay for everything myself on $60 a week cause I get paid less than minimum wage. Considering I use about half a litre of oil a week, paying for top oil will mean I can't pay for petrol and there really isn't any point in getting oil but not petrol

Plus it's just as likely to fuck up with the nice stuff when you take Murphey's Law into account

Not quite. As I recall they are good for 28hp / 150cc or 186 hp/litre. That is a fairly warm tune.
BTW, my GT250X7 was hot stuff in 1979 with slightly less power from 250cc, and was accused of being a killer machine, able to do 100mph on a learner license, etc.

Yip that was me, Hsvboy and Alexthekid pulled up behind me as well if you saw em .

My batterys poked and i need a new wof for it so i have to get round to it!

a 450Mx engine would be mint as!, would u use it on the road or race it? (F3???), would have to change the gearing tho, how about a 250 2 stroke single MX engine, probably could pick one up rather cheap, it would have a mean as power band!

Not to mention there's already a Honda called the Nighthawk... not exactly a motorcycle to set the world on fire, either. This is the 250cc version:

True, still had a fairly high redline. And I used the whole rev range to actually get it moving. So basically I killed my poor RG

I caught a glimpse of them

Probably race it as the rego will die (unless you can ut it on hold forever but I have my doubts). And I had thought of a 2 stroke, just a 450 would be cooler (unless I managed to buy a 500 2 stroke). However if I find a cheap 250 and I have the cash at the time I'll go for it

Mmmm... doesn't really strike fear does it? I haven't got the bike yet so I've got plenty of time to think of something else

[ZeroIndex]

That's a bit odd... was the speedo saying 140? They get up to 180km/h @ 12,000RPM, but they are only doing 150km/h (very badly out speedo)... I had mine sitting at redline for about 10 minutes and I didn't have any problems with mine... what oil were you using? please don't say 'any old service station 2t oil'... I used to run mine on either R2 or TTS
