RS125 rolling chassis for Moto 3 conversion

[husaberg]

No Einstein,The question was,How is different to allow a factory built Grand Prix chassis,But not a competition based engine,Read it slowly this time .

Crickey guys I just read the whole thread.
I must admit its a frame afterall not worth a punch up.Now while I must admit I would rather GP frames weren't legal.The simple fact is,they are. End of story.
If you can't beat them join them or build something better.The thing is with buckets you can spend as much money or as little on them as you like but it only goes as the rider can ride the darn thing. Talent will still rise to the top as it does in any class.
In all classes in NZ there are diferent levels of money spent F3 is a good example.There are guys that spend big money on late model sv650 and Tigercraft arillias and so forth.

PS I am having a go at a CF frame if anyone can help PM me.

Now F5Dave you are not trying to slip out on the CR500af Supermoto ride in Greymouth are you.ER...Dave.....Dave...Daaaaa,,vvvvvv,eeee

I guessing Billys comming. Pete jones will be there.It could be a good grudge match, we could put you all on CRF50s for the feature.

Is that a Cr500AF as in Service Honda???

I wish
Its ex japan ex Auckland Its a late model engine(not that it maters though ) in a 98 frame. AF is for Alloy frame, They are the stiffest In fact to stiff for the dirt,with a few trick bits billet yoke etc slicks and wets Brembo special links springs Mikuni carb etc some one in Japan opened the cheque book wide open.Its a tarmac biasies supermoto. Reputibly has a lot of ex ...... and HRC stuff don't they all though.
It has a cut down seat and is lowered for the less mm.. tall amongst us.
I guess no doubt Dave will be able to do a story on it after Greymouth this year.Dave ....Dave....DAAAAVVVVVEEE

Whats going on here if someones quoting me they must be desperate.Cause I don't believe half -well ER......in hindsight possibly,Yeah, Well a third the crap that I say.

It says Also says scooter boy(ss90) raced in Cams. When was that I don't remember ever seeing a Flamming Vespa or Lamberetta. Amos collins Had a puch split single I think.Closest I can remember,

Possibly because you spent too much time in hotel rooms with blindfolds on I guess.

Now listen here scooterboy, there was No scooters in Cams the whole time I raced! Give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves, you have done it again.
George would roll over in his grave at the thought of it.
It would have been fun to kick your smug arse off the track on one though.

So don't try and bluff your way out of it with infantile rhetoric and innuendo. You are not even half way clever enough. Neil

What the hell is the reference to scooters in Cams?

Thats why I build high performance two stroke engines in Europe is it... let me guess, your a...... Farmer?, no..... a waiter.... no, I got it...... A saleman for Cookie time...

The whole time you raced?

One have a go day does not count.

[husaberg]

What's the matter? Still emotionally scarred from the hotel incident? You where told to keep the blindfold on!

Considering I was racing my scooter in buckets, 125's, 250's, F3, CAMS and BEARS, long before many of these guys where even embryos, my opinion is as valid as anyones.

I loved racing ,but due to a tragic weedeater acident that claimed, What little manhood and I had, and left me incontinent,I had to retire to concentrate all my energies on my emerging talent as a writer on Fantasy fiction story books. I have keept up the scooter tuning and now have the fastest Vespa in my bowls club.I am now moving on to tuning mobility scooters my true calling

But after reading your sad tale of woe that you mistakenly believe somehow relates to success.

I wouldn't be human if I didn't feel a little bit sorry for you. Was that what you were aiming for. Pity?

Please in future stick to true stories scooterboy.Its a lot easier keep your stories straight.

Lastly no one.I repeat. No one questions. Why you don't live here Neil.

It's just a shame that you feel the need to keep in touch.

Now if I'm still allowed to show my face here, if I can go back to this post; Well the bit after I light heartedly rag on Deano, heaven help me if he takes it wrong, but back to my parodied 'attack' on Bears racers.

Ahh go on, you'll never finish it old man. I can see the trade me add already

Besides Clubmans at the pointy end these days might be a bit embarrassing. I hear its not in the spirit of Clubmans anymore. Now lets get onto these Bears wankas. 4 valve engines? Heck when I grew up one valve was enough. And that was on my Powervalve. Which incidentally I want to be allowed to race in Bears. Bloody racist beggers.

Ok what is up with the 9-12yr old Trailbike class? Bloody national championship class? Why - I think we should all have to race trailbikes, with some of these flips Ivan is on about.

Sorry this is where I came in I think

OK so who are these Bears guys? Well presumably back in the day they decided they wanted to race their leaky old Triumphs (I'm a triumph owner before anyone flips out) against their mate's lanky old Ducati without getting stouched up by all these GSXs. So they went out on their own & by all accounts are having a bloody good time.
Ok so there were always going to be quibbles about the rules & no one could have anticipated the arrival of 916s, Euro Supermotos & whatever else followed.

So in my parody I present my own clearly ridiculous slant & opinions about what they should do & how I should be able to enter my Yamaha.

So as I'm not currently a Bears racer; - what right do I have to tell them how they should be running their racing? Sod all. Nada.


And that's been the central point of my posts. Hence the ragging on people giving their over a pint opinion of how people race in a class they aren't participating in. I didn't want to rag on Billy too much as I have no idea who he is & clearly he gets a little techy. And clearly I went too far the other direction with someone I knew, but hopefully we're over that a bit.

[Buckets4Me]

better a diesel engine that a weed eater motor

now this is gettting back on track
NO no NOOOOO NO

thats like saying a gn125 is a great bucket

[Kickaha]

thats like saying a gn125 is a great bucket

Pre FXR era they were, best handling commuter bike frame available at the time

[steveyb]

Without Bucket racers pre 95 RS125's would be piled 10 high at the local tip.

They just scrap, nobody outside buckets uses them, not even really collectable, use em up before we run out of oil I say !

Actually, a tidy NF4 (pre-'95) RS125 will get you about AUD$6000 in Oz these days.
The old farts want them for Period Racing.

GN125 best handling Yeah No account for taste though.
Did ya used to keep on the origional handle bars and peanut tank and raked out steering head as well
I say an mb50 or mb100 would out handle it all day let alone a RG50 and don't say they weren't commuters cause certainly they were not race replicas Cb125t were ok to

Don't be fucking stupid of course I kept the tank

You would be wrong

CB125T have shit frames along with the Honda 4 stroke singles, MB frames aren't to bad

[steveyb]

Righto Tax dodgers.

It is a shame this turned into a bucket vs anti-bucket crusade. I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!!
The story is thus:
Moto Academy NZ has lost $100,000 over the past 3.5 years. I have had fun, but no one is really willing/able to pay what it costs to pay someone to run a 125GP bike and team for them. So be it, that's Kiwiland.
I have also been unemployed for 2 years now, without anything like an income for most of that period, so I am fundamentally bankrupt.
My advice, DO NOT GO TO UNIVERSITY. Learn to do something usefull!!! 10 years there hasn't done me much good.

So I have had to sell off the assets of the business one by one.
Sorry Ivan, but this is the '98 bike.
I am trying to sell the complete bike as I want someone to race it in 125's.
But in an effort to actually get some money I thought it might help to offer the rolling chassis. NO, it is not a frame I want to sell, but a complete rolling chassis.

No, I will not give it away. If you want a $150 frame, look somewhere else.

If I can sell the roller, I get to keep the engine etc as it is a nearly 44hp engine. Only really good RS125 engines make more than 44-45 hp.

My preferences, but as mentioned, I do not have that luxury are:
Sell the bike for a good price to someone who wants to race it. It is a bike that could win NZ champs with the right rider.
Sell the bike to someone who just wants to have one for the sake of it or to do track days etc.
Sell the roller to someone who wants to make a Moto3 bike.
Sell the roller to someone who want to make a Schmucket bike.

Bike = $6495
Roller = $3995

I wonder if any of you who had complete NF4 bikes are kicking yourselves now that they are worth so much on the international market?

I have rode cb125t yeah they had a little wallow but that was mainly no damping. A a weak swingarm pivot and bendy swingarm.Yhat why I said they were OK .I Never rode one on decent tires admittedly. Yes the singles were a little dicey.

The bits you appear to have kept on the GN Chassis they are frame loop and Tank and........
I imagined A GN125 chassis to be more like this.
Top work. A thorough raiding of the Suzuki parts bin top workmanship. What’s the carb. But why keep the tank and the chrome shock covers it kind of looks a bit out of place if you don't mind me asking.
