A
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.

Is this a glimpse of things to come?

Is this a glimpse of things to come?

I'd like to think so.

Sounds like a mini-TRX850 to me, and they are a mighty fine machine.

They're a pressed up crank, so it shouldn't be to hard to change if you cand find some to do it, Diesel Pig looked at a CM200 crank to stroke one out to 150cc and it was a 180 degree crank

edit it was a 360 degree crank

[nudemetalz]

I thought CM180/200's were 360 degree crank?

[Kickaha]

I thought CM180/200's were 360 degree crank?

Yeah they are, I had that backwards, that was one of the reasons he didn't bother with it

But more tuned than a TRX, don't get me wrong cause they're a lovely bike but they're undertuned and lack that edgey apeal.

They need megaphones!

Is the centre main pressed of welded? I can't say I've had a close enough look at the crank. No good if you can't rotate the inner crank webs!

I'd been thinking about this from a more pragmatic viewpoint, and I reckon F5Daves H100?RS125 combo would be just about the best concept based upon all the critrea mentioned above. If it goes anything as well as Str8Jackets ex F5Dave bike and you can actually keep it pointing in the right direction and hold some corner speed, which is relatively easy with an RS125.

Just need a big boy seat wide bars and a big fat tank to rest mine on

Something like this maybe would do!

Otherwise any bike that could get my fat arse to the finish line before any other sucker would be just fine .....

[Skunk]

Don't worry Gav - you can beat me again in the BoB this year.

[avgas]

Mine would be my old RG150 with a smaller bore and uprated rear shock.

[F5 Dave]

nah I'm with Riffer on this, UICHI UI's bike would be just the danglers but not fitted with some festering diesel, but a Derbi 80 street engine taken out to 100.
. . . After stripping off the ghey fairings etc, - wouldn't want to be called a wanka.

Actually they didn't make an 80 - only aftermarket kits which wouldn't be legal, but if we are dreaming them they'd make a street 100 that I could tune snot out of.

ok lets get serial.

. . .a 100cc V-twin using 50cc Derbi or Aprillia cylinders. I could realistically pull 30hp no drama, actually I'd bet could get to 37hp as a twin.

150cc 4 stroke, pah!

[Skunk]

Funny that Dave, I have been thinking about my dream bucket and so far all I have is a home built tandem twin 100cc two stroke. Haven't come up with a chassis. Thinking home built...

[nudemetalz]

Back in the late 80's, a good mate of mine came up with an idea of making the ultimate bucket by taking a Suzuki T90 and turning one of the barrels upright to make it into a 90 degree v-twin (T90's are a 90cc parallel twin with the barrels forward like an A-50 or A-100). Then he planned to use 2 RG50's barrels and watercool it.
He got as far as machining the crankcase and actually getting the barrels ready to fit. Unfortunately, he never progressed beyond that.
Pity, would have been quite a machine.

Do you mean like this?
