Would this Reaper Gen X 150cc be legal for bucket racing?

[Yow Ling]

What we do get sick of is people who don't race in the class telling us how it should be. That gets boring real quick & you wonder why such people troll around,

perhaps they should find some rugby forum to go tell other people who don't play how it should be done.

Remember that clown trying to have electric buckets Geez

........Anyway thanks for your help but after reading all this don't think we will be pushing Pit Motard racing to much apart from in home town as seems to be to much negativity towards them in NZ.

You have utterly and completely missed the point. No one on this thread has said anything bad about Pit Motard Racing. What no one in this thread has been in support of is these bikes racing as an F4 race bikes.

Here's a solution.......

He hasn't bothered answer the very direct questions I asked in my previous post, so I can only draw from that the he is only interested in the profit of selling these bikes rather than for the good of the sport.

Bingo. so who's going to write the submission??

I am quite happy to write it. But cant submit it as I am not currently a member of MNZ

. Then you can have deisles, electrics, turbines, get all the crazy coming out of the woodwork there. And it encourages fuel efficient engines, so you'd have direct benefit to road vehicles too!

Why bother, plenty of petrol left, this is racing not an economy run, Oh you the electric bucket guy

Really, who was that, it sounds like a great idea

Would make the rules a lot simpler, fuck all this competition/production bike/parts legality debate, meter out your fuel, go for a hoon. It's purely coincidental that this would give the vastly more efficient electrics a much needed advantage...

Are you a bucket racer? or just a spectator?

Neither, been meaning to go down to have a look for ages though. Who knows, might even raise a spanner or two to the challenge one day too.

Different riding gear needed for pit bikes too................................

Maybe, but then maybe I'm one of 'those' guys that would have a go on one of these motard things ( Prolly not but....)
Don't automatically assume that we're just stirring, I jump into these threads because I have a genuine interest in all forms of bike racing and you never know I may just do it one day. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if this Reaper Gen X 150cc be legal for bucket racing in NZ? Done my research and I cant see any reason why not, please note its a 150cc engine not a 155cc like some of other Pit Bike Motards out there.

The picture is just of a sample, the models that will be sold, will have axle and footpeg guards, along with all the graphics etc.

Cool thing about this bike is that it has dual piston front brakes and linkage rear suspension.

Any other suggestions or opinions of this bike are welcome.

The short answer is no!!!

These are buit as a motorcross machine and as pathetically slow as they are,They are still outside the rules,If we let the chinese MX bikes in then we can't really stop the Japanese ones either.

That said there is a trial going on at present that I have asked some peeps in AK to do,Whereby there will be a class setup specifically for a lower hp version of these,To get 8-10 year olds on,So we can get them started roadracing earlier than 13,But IF it eventuates,They will be strictly limited to that class only,

best Idear yet. I'll take 3 (the oldest boy is already crashing my rg50)
But I dont want to be trying to weave in and out of these things (or getting passed by them which is more likely)

[speedpro]

How about a 100cc unlimited class.

We call it F4

[speedpro]

The idea of metering a set amount of fuel per race/event would be a laugh. My bike would be screwed instantly.

My gawd Billy, do you know how painful it was following my 10year old around Ruapuna and Levels and he was on an Aprilia RS50 in MCI's training class? Following a pitbike will be like shoving a hot needle in ya eye! A year on hes at a pace thats keeping me from nodding off.

But seriously its a fantasic idea though, it should be able to grab a few of the wee ones before they get a taist of MX. What are your thoughts on lowering the age for racing? 8-13 is a long time to ride around gaining skills they carn't test without applying for a dispensation from MNZ? Even the current 3 years is a wee bit long in my eyes.
