    what class of competition was the fzr bast on .Not motocross thats for sure (and an rs125 honda is for kids 13-16 or small asians so can I use one of them?)
    and was it the importer or the manufactor that claimed it was a race bike ?



    24-2-4 Engines must be derived from non-competition motorcycles. Motocross, Road Racing,
    Enduro and Go Kart motors and transmission parts are not permitted.

    As far as I know you can use the very early RM80s and 100s as they came out as a kids farm bike.

    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.

    Well there you have it, black and white from the horses mouth, (so to speak).

    These motors are derived form what? Shit box Honda step throughs.

    Let me try a different tac here. If I bought 100 of the 140cc base model motors, and wanked the fuck out of them inside the rules of bucket classes, could I sell them as a crate motor to bucket racers? I think yes.

    Yes but while you are wanking all over the motors you cant fit a competition head or close ratio competition transmission, nothing stopping you from forging a set of gears or casting your own head though
    My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues

    If you can show some sort of pukka proof to back that up ie a Suzuki brochure, Dave Trustrum will ride 3 laps at Kaitoke in the nick.

    The point I'm making, is that the rules are worded, "derived from". I can straight import the hottest 150cc version those little asian fellas can make, and it is inside the rules by my interpretation.

    Mores the point, it wont hold a candle to the fucked with FXR's and CBR's, so any homo that does protest it because a local ad said it was a competition motor, is gonna look like a right knob.

    I imagine the price would drop stupidly.

    If I was serious about using one of these motors, I'd find a chinese distributor and send an email saying I wanted to sell them here.

    Those guys send free samples ya know. If you email back saying it's bung and ya don't want them, they send you another five to tempt you. Provided of course there isn't someone near by selling them already. They must cost about twelve bucks each to make.

    Where ever Jimmy and his boss at the time were getting pit bikes from, sent the first couple for cost of shipping.
