Why make it heavier? Why not fit a MB100 motor?

I will If I can find a decent one for a decent price in the time it takes me to save up for a loncin.
I've been on the look out for one, and the six cogs from the 50.
There is a pretty hot one here at the mo...
I would be dead if I touched it tho!

Pretengineer
save your self the money buy a crashed fxr150 if it's got bent forks ones off the RG will fit.. so will the wheels, brakes...
It will be
1- Fast
2- Reliable
3- Reliable..
Depends if you prefeer to tinker though. I like to tinker, but I also like turning up to a race meeting just to ride, and not fix shit. (insert $200 DR200 here)

Yeah you are right.
I just wanna work with what I have tho, Would buy an FXR motor if one comes up but the alloy NSR frame I already have should be better. I could sell it but I'm usless at selling shit and am a bit of a hoarder.
I compared the bare RG150 and NSR frames a while ago (FXR should be similar to the RG) and the Steel RG frame was WAAAY heavier.
If it turns out OK I should only have to worry about the engine as the rest should be sweet to go.
Your right again in that I pretty much do like to "tinker" (piss about)! a bit!
I got the other front spacer finished tonight so that should be good to gonow with only the disk and master cylinder swap to finish the front end. I don't think I can handle the brake feeling from using 2 caliper master cylinder, I crashed Skunks ZX1R by not being able to cope with that.
I have a VT one that should be just the ticket.

IF you are looking for an XL125 engine, the only one you want is the XL125S. Big head and nice 6 speed box.

Is that the bike that was on trade me, I think it had a 6 hundy motor in it.
Anway I Don't think it would be over heavy once stripped back. I have a FZ Deltabox frame for my next project which would be a similar weight.
Concentrate on getting your steering and suspension right before looking for heaps of power.
I run a Loncin motor, out of the box is is a bit gutless. The standard carb is crap. Unfortunately the pumper carb is an upgrade but worth every cent. The Loncin motor is very reliable mines had a good thrashin. Very easy to handle with good torque and power spread. Further mods eg Head, and cam work get a bit expensive (unless you can do it yourself).
and for the money spent you could buy a S/H FXR motor.
