HI guys, I have just bought a FXR155Z Mini motard and will have at the next round of buckets. I have got together three of us with more coming in soon.Bikes are really nicely made, and ready to go out of the box. If youve got a mini motard break it out and bring it down. Frank from NZmotor factory is willing to cut deals to get a grid out there.

Dont talk about it, do it!

Shame it is not Bucket legal. Check the rule book and you will find 155cc is over the F4 capacity limit. Not to mention the fact that they are advertised as a 'competition' bike.
Also, have a thouough read of this thread if you haven't already.

158.09cc is the limit. Might be time to pick up a current rule book

Does that include over bores?

Can you post a direct link to the buckets part of the book as I couldn't find it.

Yes, 158.09 is the max capacity for rebored engines.

Did you catch that vid from Kaitoke a couple of weeks back with the mini motard rider playing superman over the pile up, the buggers are dangerous even when they're behind the action

Na missed the vid linky please.
As for the capacity topic, I remember this being kicked around before. Rules say F4 4t is 150 but allowable rebore size is 158.09 as you said. So surely the original capacity of the machine should be 150??? That is the way I see it and I think that is most likely the intent of the rule.
Maybe MNZ should be asked to make the decision...

Don't think that's necessary, in my opinion its pretty clear, original capacity should be 150, not 155. In saying that, there is a bike which I'm pretty sure is the aforementioned forza 155 (I do not know this for sure) being ridden at mt welly in the b grade.
