Why are we pretending that 12hp is adequate in a "racer" as long as it has zorst wrap and a brown seat?Originally Posted by neels
I mean, it's the antitheses of the original cafe racer ethos: unfashionable is fine, but make it fast.

How do you change everything on it, including putting in a brand new lawn mower engine and still get to pay vintage rego?

Its all in the frame and first date of registration.
Currently if its pre 78 you pay $46.00 ( or thereabouts)

Lams approved. Sure. LVV approved? I mean you know. If a 200 in a 110 is less than 15% allowable well math got fucked over.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

i'd bet he didn't know the difference between math and meth...

I can't think why that appeals to me but it does. Must be that shade of yellow 'cause it otherwise looks a little disjointed and the stock XT engine is a slug. A weighty one at that.
20k? Oh sure.
Is the tank off maybe a small cc dt perhaps? That said I remember pushing my TT500 in the dark having found the limit of the tank range and lack of reserve position.

Would it be ok with the anything under 250cc is LAMS unless specifically excluded clause, or does the no modifications part of the rules apply to everything regardless of engine size?
Would be useful to know for future learner/restricted riders in the family....

No disrespect to anyone at all intended. Nostalgia is all well and good, but for that money, you could get something new and much much better: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/mot...8db01e0ef71545

Don't think so. If you'd ever had your manhood assaulted by the key escutcheon on the back of a DT tank cap you'd have recognised one straight off.

Is that for the missus?
Knobs are extra.
What size and colour would sir prefer?

I once transported the missus on a heavily retooled XL350 sporting a brand new dunlop 18/510 comp knobbly inflated to about 12psi, around a looooong off camber downhill left hander. The more it drifted the more she sat up...
Since which the missus stuck to more.... suitable modes of transport.
Even more off topic: I have two new 18/450 scorpions lurking in the back of the gargre, anyone want to make an offer?

To be fair I'm no Lams expert because I'm not affected. It most certainly will need LVV. I thought anything that increased power to weight would invalidate Lams. You could for example tune a 200cc RGV Wolf to make 50hp. Breifly. RGV250 territory.
Yeah.
