RS125 rolling chassis for Moto 3 conversion

[CHOPPA]

What an arse. Check Nigel Duff's bucket before commenting on RS buckets. There's others that would put "real" bikes to shame.

Thats like saying but the manx would make a really good compressor

Make sure it doesn't end up a bucket. It's all legal and it's a free world, but in my opinion a technical moral crime. Too many of those beautiful handbuilt GP chassis are ending up there lately. Like turning a Manx Norton engine into a workshop compressor

Unfortunately I do not have that luxury. Have already had to sell one to a prospective bucket bike maker, but thankfully he is 'losing sleep' over the decision to go ahead or not!!
Many more sleepless nights I hope......

Here is one allready done

[Ivan]

these here are the Japanese racing these years ago, looking at the video the speed they have is quite quick allready considering these are using just motox engines and the sound isnt to bad

Haha, i wouldn't be doing any welding! I know my limits .

Argh, i hate to show you this. But its too late one of your ex bikes is heading that way. Its not Andrew's one either.
Looks like one of your 95's?

Should be against the law, punishable by hanging.

have to agree there,
I will probably cry if I see Williams old 98 come on here as a bucket bike, I dont mind buckets at all just would prefer to see it being used on a full size track and yes this might upset a few bucket guys I dont hate you guys I love buckets just theres some bikes that shouldnt be bucket frames yet haha

Hey Ivan down here buckets are run on full tracks, so you ok with it now

I guess im ok with it and wasnt trying to sound negative my favourite bucket I rode was Jayt Lawrences pre 95 rg50 rs125 hybrid, something like a yzf125 or cbr150 id be more happy with haha but would prefer to see a yzf250 or 450 in it

Use a steel pole that teach him. Come round you can borrow one.

I have no problem with Pre 95 125GP bikes being used.
I do find it sad seeing the potential of a post 95 RS bike being turned into a bucket. Purpose built engines and what not, potential to win the nz nationals in the right hands. etc etc

I guess its the future though! Pre 95 RS's as buckets have been around a fair while now!

Anyway, back on topic. Someone chuck a 250 in this and see what happens.

My old compressor has just blown up (whilst porting my bucket), so I do need a new compressor, . . . but I can't imagine an old piece of British crap would fare any better than the Chinese 2 bob item I had before. Actually it survived 5 hard years on no maintenance so case in point.

[scott411]

if you put a MX based engine in one of these it will be very maitainence happy, i know people that ride MX bikes fast and they will be doing pistons and valve's at 25 hours tops, if not earlier, and even average road racers will rev them much harder than the mx boys do due to the longer straights,

there was an article put on here a while ago about an american racer talking about how much it cost to keep his F450 going, and they do not rev any where near has hard as a 250F will,

Going from 125 2 strokes to 250 four strokes has made MX racing much more expensive, to the point where people are leaving MX, its sad to see road racing is going to make the same mistake

[cowpoos]

What would ya put in it and why? NZ realistic of course

KFX 250 or RMZ 250 engines....have a nosey on google and see what reviewers say about them....engines that is.

If anyone is interested in a complete Honda NX4 (post '95) RS125 rolling chassis for making their own Moto 3 conversion please contact me.

did you end up selling this

[jasonu]

Here is another bucket 97 RS (work in progress) so stick that up your arse.
BTW how much for the afore mentioned RS chassis???
