You know the concept of bucket sprinting is a seriously good one.
A cap of say $2500 and 500cc/single, 350/twin and we could be on to something indeed.

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Cool idea. The cap would be a hard one to administer though...

The trick is to limit the power a bit via engine design otherwise the spend on the chassis goes nuts... I talked to the chap up the road that races a GS1000... It owes him $25,000 to $30,000..... erm.... no thanks.... $2,000 shocks on the back.. gulp... (Vicki would kill me and that's what would make it dangerous)
the 400 twins seem to be cheap enough or the GB's....

John Robinson of Performance Bikes built up a Suzuki GP100 to do 100 mph. I'm sure that woulda made a good bucket sprinter. Might even fit into the F4 rulebook!

My pick...hmmmmm...I think an SRX600 Yamaha would be the go.
I really want to get in on this, but racing\kids\work leave me no money and little time. Perhaps a partenership could be struck. Anyone???

I share your pain... I can offer some spanner time but bugger all else. Having four kids means I'm perpetually skint.
Definitely sounds like a plan. All we need is someone with money now LOL.

Tard Me has a 81 XL500s for approx $600
And a IT490 for about the same(very quick over short distance)
Change the wheel sizes, lower and dust bin it, tickle the engine and give it some.

Have to pick something intrinsically cheap but common & not fragile. Old GN250 may sort of fill that need, but they did tend to kill themselves by rattling their heads to death, maybe that is more a symptom of the owners & maintenance.
XR500s are expensive & kill cranks & crankcases when hotted up. Pete has been modifying his for well over a decade & is a very experienced tuner & owns a wrecking business so has a handle on the spare parts avenue.
The GP PB did was a 125. To reach 100mph you need about 25bhp in a std small bike. Probably a GN with 18 real bhp could hit this in a streamliner/kneeler arrangement.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
