    Your dream bucket

    Okay,...after the pointless & useless but entertaining thread of "How much does your bucket weigh"...thought I'd come up with another.

    WHAT IS YOUR DREAM BUCKET ??

    Thought mine would be something RC212V inspired (gee, really?),
    but this would be mine -
    A Yamaha YZF-R125 with a Rossi sticker kit, bored to 150 and some serious tuning done to it.

    Ooops,..losing the bucket spirit here....

    -Its the perfect world right?
    Then I'd have different buckets for different tracks.
    For Mt wellington I think something with Torque for africa and wide bars.
    Taupo and ChCh you have it on the noggin cept I'd have a 2 stroke engine i think .--But it looks pretty darn frajile to me
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    each to their own, but I guess my perfect bucket would be what bucket racing is about...a bucket of shit that costs no more than $500...

    Oooh, now let me see..................
    Lets start with a Cagiva Mito 125 chassis and running gear. Should give the handling, braking and looks desired.
    Then a race prepped CB140 for the twin sound.

    Who cares if it's not exactly a winner, when your looking and sounding this cool while racing as hard as you can.


    But to really finish the team, I'd also need an TTR125 bored as much as possible while keeping in the engine limit, with motard rims for shits and giggles.

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    One of these wouldn't be to bad, bored to 100cc with a reed block and a dirty big flat slide carb, plus the 17's and slicks

    How about this, with an FXR150 motor?



    Probably completely against the rules though I reckon.
    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.

    A tough question Nudez.

    I has to be light.

    I has to turn well and have plenty of grip.

    You have to have reasonable horsepower and torque.

    One of them 9k CBR150s would be nice

    But that's too easy, something with a homebuilt chassis and seriously modified or home made engine components is the way I want to go.

    A water cooled, 8 valve CB142 twin with 270 degree firing order in a chromoly steel trellis chassis with RS 125 suspension and wheels, that would be my dream bucket.

    Nah no way, I don't actually want an FXR150, I thought it might get a responce you see.

    I reckon your old bucket with a fast motor and working suspension would be the way to go.
