Ride a well running RS125 before you convert it to a bucket.
Then tell me, if you should do it.
I can understand if there's RS125 frames hanging around, but removing the engine from one and put a bucket engine in there isn't acceptable.

No need to feel sorry for me. I've built and ridden two stroke race bikes that've won national championships. Eyes sight's pretty good too.and that may be a problem for you

[QUOTE=Buckets4Me;1130133101]why not ?
Availabilty to the masses might be a reason ?, They are pretty rare just like most bucket riders talent..........
(ther ya go slowpoke)
Forum whore
hang on whats the title of this thread ???? rs125 for moto3 conversion
so we can rip the engine out and put a dirty 4 stroke in but not an F4 2 stroke ??

He's got a point. We are talking about putting a dirty Diesel in an RS frame -surely a travesty.
Poor Dr Bob just trying to peddle his wares, sorry for turning this thread into a shitfest
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Funny you should say that as last time i did a bit of Bookay racing - I crashed my brains out. Bloody good fun though.
Must remember to tell Dave Manuel, Gary C , Skatchil & Co , that they are not real racers next time i see em......
Low personal B.M.E.P.
Put whatever you like in it - it only puts up the value of the unmolested ones....
Just don't cut it about too much as some poor bastard may want to restore an RS125 in about 15 years time....

Correct me if I'm wrong but buckets started with commuter bikes whipping around airforce runway areas in good old lunchtime fun. Then it became an official MNZ class, where the idea morphed into modifying said modest bikes and making/modifying your own bits to bring a bit of "formula" originality and workshop creativity into it. I'm right with that, I still have my homemade framed twin cam four valve 125 hybrid.
I doubt the rulemakers way back then ever considered people would go out get GP bikes and put commuter motors in them. Maybe Aussies got it right when they adopted buckets from us. Their rules specifically require original components only. IE same motors /frame/wheels/forks

Think you're wasting your time. Obviously someone along the line has got his panties in such a bunch about getting beat, that he rushed out to buy GP equipment thinking it won't happen again...and the ball starts rolling.

Yes and I'll bet they didn't forsee the Steadman clan watercooling TF motors and mateing RG400 cylinders to KE gearboxes either and no one had a problem with that.
It is called progress, I'm sorry if you find it confusing...

Of course they did,Jimmy,Pete Sales were among the founders of bucket racing,
Progress!!!Whats the difference between allowing Grandprix chassis and Grandprix engines???
progress was "Wheels" centre hub steering bucket,Grandprix chassis are just cheating cause you dont have a clue how build/modify the roadbased frame,
You do realise "Bucket racing" is a shortened version of "Bucket of shit " racing dont you,It was intended too be EXACTLY what pete has described

maby spec savers could helpApparently everything according to old Buckets4Me. Would appear to me the whole bucket scene is getting out of hand.
