KTM 85cc Motard build

[Barnesd09]

Why not just get the Metrakit 70 and put the 80 bore kit on. all the set-up work has been done for you.:crucified:

 

[grnman]

Because arent they$13,000 or something for a new one.

18hp for the 70cc and 64kg. im not sold for that price.

the 80cc complete bike (bigger wheels) is 23hp and 79kg.


MINI GP 70

Yeah, they may seem down on power, but that is the stock unbreakable derbi. Clean up the barrel and get a decent pipe put on it will add some more power, but as everyone found out at Warrnambool and Phillip Island, the race isn't won by power, its won under brakes, corners and race craft.
The metrakit will smash anything that we have under brakes, into, through and out of the corners. Its a pure gp bike, not a dirt bike converted to road.
The same way big motards get easily beaten by a proper gp bike with the same capacity and engine. The suspension setup allows you to go go faster.

But then if you can spend that much money on a bike to race us you could afford to go racing big bikes on big tracks. So I don't ever see anyone turning up with a metrakit.

you can get a second hand one for about 4k now or less

 

[grnman]

4k would be ok for a quality bike.

I paid 2k for my KTM and then spent 2k on it to make it into a worthy motard. I think I would rather the KTM over Metrakit.

 

[dafunk]

my cr80 owes about $850 atm . parts supply could also be a drama . i saw some motard versions of the metrakit[youtube] , they looked very nice !!

[ringo]

^^^ I love the bike, would be a sick ride, but the black on orange monster kit is a bit stark in mo.

Reckon the stock look would be nice: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/PhotoGallerys/2008-KTM-85SX.jpg

 

[ringo]

Yeah I'm not big on advertising material on any of my bikes and a new standard sticker kit is on the cards, but I'd rather spend my money on things that make it faster!!! LOLOLOLOL.

 

[Carlts]

^^^^^ Too true, and I'm sure that thing would rip!

 

[cqminimoto]

Its looking pretty flash Ringo. Can't wait to see it up here flying around our track. Should be a reasonable field in the class 5B I reckon.

 

[ringo]

^^^^^ Too true, and I'm sure that thing would rip!

Yeah it goes alright, if you look back through the pics, I've been removing stickers all the way along, I keep pulling more and more off. But it looks really plain with the side stickers removed.

I'm really looking forward to riding your track CQ!! It looks awesome, I've always enjoyed tracks with gradient so it should be fun.

A couple of pics from yesterday playing with the fourfiddies:

 

[cqminimoto]

I notice you are out front of those four fiddies too Ringo. Is that the norm?

 

[motorman]

Pretty quick but a small track for sure.

Let's get this thread back on topic.

That's a mid pack shot dude, rest assured there's a few more 4fiddies in front as well!!

Don't wanna psych you banana boys out too much!!!!
