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

... with the amount of money and time that is going into some of these f4 buckets ...

I hope the emphasis is on time, money? I think its more time than money and anyone can put the time in if they wan't too.

It is eligible, with mods. And with the amount of money and time that is going into some of these f4 buckets, it's not an overly ridiculous thought.

how is a motoX bike be eligible unless you change the engine ?

and can you build that for $2000 ?

Oh come on man, they hardly look like moto crossers to me.

I thought you dudes were all about thinking outside the box.

Outside the box doesnt mean outside the rules ...

There is clearly 2 camps on this, based on "is this legal, or not" (the answer of course is, no, not at all.)

I cant remember who mentioned the concept of, well, if it ain't winning, no one will really care, while true (to the people who beat it), for the legal buckets that get beaten, I strongly suspect that they will get slightly upset, and it will create a rift.

When 125Gp bikes ran with F3 (and also being eligible for F3 points at the same time), it was bloody awful, particularly turn one (depending on the track, Levels being the worst), simply by virtue of the fast lines on a 125 Gp bike being almost contradictory to that of an F3 bike..... I saw plenty of (low level) aggression and frustration in the pits (and on track) as a result.

I suspect the same would be true in this scenario.

Despite what some of us want to believe, these bikes simply will not cut it in a true "race pace" scenario, when raced with "like machines " it is possibly very close and fun to watch, and compete in, as when all is said and done, the small wheels are a hinderance.

There isn't really a n easy compromise for this in my opinion, and of course, the guy that originally posted was planning commercial gain.

Im unsure what the current state of affairs is regarding buckets and track time, but it seems the logical thing is for the poster/business man to create a class, and find someone that will allow it to be included in the program, just as when Minimotos came along, when it became clear to everyone that they where not bucket legal (I assure you that plenty of people assumed they would be) several people made the effort to gain access to things like indoor Kartsport tracks, parking lots and so on.

It worked, and in many cases, worked well.

So are no pit bike or pit bike style engine legal?

yep thats right, plus no one under 5ft is allowed to race either. Now theres a perfectly good forum called minimoto/pocket bikes, how about you take your coversation over there. Honestly those guys would love to hear from you the rest of us are just tired of it
