    Hi Drew are these 14hp air cooled GSX 150F's the bikes they are talking about? http://www.primrose.co.za/motorcycles/gsx150f-gixxer

    Those 19hp water cooled and injected GSX 150R's would be great for Buckets. https://www.suzuki-racing.com/sac/ma...x?OBJ_ID=57607 I think the air cooled ones would be a disappointment.

    They went for the shitter, quite disappointing really. Would have been better off bringing in the underbone scooters. Now that would off been fun!

    A hugely competent rider I am associated with suggested running a Burgman 650 in pro twins at cemetery circiut this year. apparently we would be far from last. Anyone got a unreg slightly crashed one I can buy cheap?.

    One of my postie customers down here ran a 650 Burger as a road bike for a while. I looked at it and had the same idea....
    Sadly the ridicule he received on a daily basis forced him to sell it before I could get my hands on it.

    Nah, im sick of people slagging it off.

    It's not my cup of tea in the slightest. I doubt I'll ever even watch a single lap of it.

    I'm not following. I've slapped a couple buckets together poorly, but I've never been into them.

    Gees, I find myself nodding in agreement with you again.

    Despite the choice of machinery (this is the bucket tread - so expect a bucket racers view on things); it is good to see that one of the major (ok the largest player) in the NZ motorcycling & racing environment looking forward and targeting the next generation. I do wish them the best of luck and maybe we will see better machines in the future... hopefully machines that may actually be suitable for future bucket racers (all be it requiring engine work to be competitive)...
