After getting involved in Bernhard's wideline frame debate, I've decided to put up an idea I've had for a long time, which I cannot afford to pursue. In Australia we have juniors racing in which Honda CBR150s and Metrakit 80s are used, cost up to $10,000. We have bucket racing which involves four stroke bikes up to 180cc, and two strokes up to 80cc. We also have historic racing which involves CB125 Hondas and 125cc two strokes. I've looked at the Chinese CT110 Honda clone pit bikes, aermacchis and this bike which was built in the US, and I think there would be a market for a frame kit to build an aermacchi style bike. It would de pend on how various race classes are constituted and promoted. I believe any two stroke would kill such a bike in competition, so the class would need to be limited to fourstrokes up to 180cc. The bike in the pics is actually faster than the two strokes, but it uses an emission control air pump off a car as a supercharger.
