Want to, and will do one at some stage this year (need to do some testing for the TRRS) doubt it will be on the 20th of this month though.

Haha cool! I will be up there with dad. We are in group two on our Yamaha machines. I may have one more spot on the trailer though for another bike so I may take my bucket as well! I will have a chat to dad and also see how much extra it would cost me to enter into two grades. Would be a bloody good laugh! The back straight on the FXR, topping out an 130km/h. Would probably be really bad for the bike am I right..? Would you ever need the brakes?

fxr150's can do over 150km/h on a flat straight!

id say mine would do 160km/h with me on it


and yes at 160km/h brakes are nessesary....lol

Crikey what have you been feeding that motor to go that fast!? Well I will see you at the track day anyway. I will be there if it isn't raining. If it is raining I won't bother riding. I don't want to scratch my bike!! If I have the bucket with me, I won't care about the rain and I would probably still head out.

I will look out for you when I am up there. I will be in blue and white leathers on a blue and white R6, and I will be pitting with my dad who has a red and white R1 with red and white leathers. Come over and tell me your secrets on how to get an FXR over 150km/h!

[DELLORTO]

cool , ill b there in blue&white leathers and i have a green fxr150

and getting an fxr150 up to that speed isnt too tough just strip the bike down,take out starter motor and fly wheel weights, add a gn250 carb and get the exhaust to function properly and you've got you self a speed machine!

Wouldn't taupo be a little wide open for a bucket? Even on a IL4 250 road bike you're 100% throttle everywhere until you're breaking into the next corner, so a bucket would either die or be a little booring? The cart track is fun with how tight it is.

[DELLORTO]

na its fun! kart tracks are too small for fxr150's, ive only ever had my bike 4 gear at mt welly and im not that slow

tim wouldnt have his bike any higher gear than that i wouldnt think......there's just so much power in modified fxr's
