Richard-BKK Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Can we change the Honda CBR150R into a "old" MZ RT 125 four-stroke motorcycle? I hope to get my firstly imported one pretty soon from Malaysia.. I need to say that this is a collection item, as it is fast...

sinewave Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 LivinLos, I believe the real question is - "Have you ever ridden a full 150cc race bike"....My NSR 150 which was highly modified with stock displacement would KILL bigger bikes up to 140kph....up to 140kph not over, read again please 140kph. Hey Bro, No offense, but your suggestion that a 150cc "race bike" can somehow beat a 1000cc supersport liter bike off the line, or 0-60 is pretty silly... go race a motocross bike , and don't come crying to me when you figure out your bike weighs 3-4 times more, and your fairings arent serving any purpose until after 90 kph.

Ohh pure comedy... So a 130 bhp bike that will lift the front wheel in first and second (which is the 140 your talking).. With a 180 section sticky rubber rear tyre.. Is going to get beaten by a machine with maybe 20% the total power and a tyre skinnier than the same front that stays in the air on the sport bike ?? Have you had a think about the physics of this ?? If you mean you pulled away while a sportbike rider was ignoring you.. OK.. But well the other options are less polite to post.. I will of course admit that filtering through traffic a sonic can go through gaps a bigger bike cannot.. But thats not a measure of its speed or power, its a measure of its size.. And yes.. I have ridden plenty of 2 strokes and other small bore sportbikes, dirtbikes, young and old, etc.. And compared to a liter bike.. even a decade plus old one, they simply pale in every respect.. Simple power to weight, plus tyre contact patch.. I mean comparing any modified CBR 150/250 even to a sport 600 is laughable, then start doubling the power of the 600 and it becomes insane.

sinewave Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hello Sinewave,I agree, you have the idea that you win from big bikes, but what you miss is that big bike riders you race, are worried and go back to look for you. I not want to call you a joke, but the more you tell the more it sounds you are not telling the truth, even a 250cc two-stroke GP motorcycle cannot win it from a Kawasaki ZX10. And this buddies have actual Honda Racing Freaks working on there bikes... with there help this 250cc 2-strokes come closs to 90 real horses in the real wheel.... But do the calculation 90BHP is nothing close to 130BHP, or some road legal liter bikes doing 180BHP. jesus can you people read? i said up to 140 kph.

LivinLOS Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I need a project bike, if anyone with a CBR wants to race me against that modified nouvo...i'll take you on title for title, i lose you get my click, i win i get your CBR... c'mon its just a nouvo... Tell ya what.. Next time I am up in the smoke.. Lets put a somchai mechanic-ed, 15 year old rough as guts, old bike.. with (at best, when brand new) 2/3rds the power of a ZX10.. against what ?? Up to 140 (1 gear change).. Can always use another scooter for the misses to rent.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-BKK Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) My money is on my 55kg g/f on a Ducati 1098S, even if you riding a two-stroke GP250 bike.

Cromarty Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 dude, I'm sure the mod to 250cc is really cool and makes it go a s**t load faster than stock. But, stop with the silly comparisons with superbikes. As other posters have said, a stock CBR/ZZR 600 would make absolute mincemeat of you, not to mention madder, meaner bikes in other classes.

LivinLOS Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Do yourself a favor.. If you want a bike with grunt.. Dont go messing with the small bore bikes, big bore kits, blown bottom ends, ripped clutches, rejet'ing, new pipes, etc etc etc.. it will be a never ending money pit.. With no resale hope ever.. http://www.bahtsold.com/detail.php?id=41828 Why not get a 750 GSXR for +- 75k - 80k ?? As long as you dont crash it, you will be hard pushed to not sell that for 60k in a long while of real use.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Model : NSR 150 SP Engine type : single cylinder, two stroke Engine size : 149cc Bore x stroke : 59 x 54.5 Horsepower : 39.5 ps at 10,500 rpm Weight : 122.4 kg Tire size : (F) 90/80-17, ® 120/80-17 or 130/80-17 There seems to be some discrepancies about the actual power that the NSR 150 SP makes, though the factory Honda catalog claims 39.5 horsepower, it is unclear if this is actually true. Some people report that 28 - 31 Horsepower is correct. THESE ARE THE FIGURES FOR THE NSR. So Sinewave i can not for the life of me see that you can make the statement "and this next statement you will continue to rip me a new one for also - the stock NSR 150 and stock CBR 150 have the same speeds, the CBR can even pull away up to 140kph...Ive owned both and know the real deal." You are saying that an Nsr150 was slower than a Cbr150. That a 2 stroke with at least 28hp is slower than a 4 stroke with at least 17hp......... uuuummmmmmm nope can't see it. methinks your Nsr was not in the best condition. I can agree with you that a properly modified Cbr150 would be a very good bike (if it could stay together long enough) and would be loads of fun (in fact with a light rider may have excellent acceleration) but beating a modern litre bike ...nope can't see that either. "BTW 28mm carbs are only 1500 baht." second hand Nsr ones are for sure. But new ones nope,and then you would need to use the nsr type throttle as well. "Took my buddy back up to the shop today to revert back to the original throttle opposed to the short throw racing throttle and to remove the resistor inside the sparkplug boot, and we gained another 15%. With a broader powerband with the plug regapped to 0.98mm" WOW. 15% Your guy has a dyno as well to check all these mods, you gained 2.5hp on that mod alone.WOW Edited May 21, 2009 by thaicbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromarty Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 plus, you are maybe pushing the brakes and suspension past spec. Listen to advice from LivinLos, get a bike suited to what you want rather tn turning yours into a death trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaicbr Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Livi. lend us the money so i can get that Suzi :D :D SINEWAVE. i had a real CBR250 with about 45hp from a 4 cylinder 19,000rpm redline beauty of an engine. and i can tell ya when a liter bike pushes from the light it aint enough. sure for the 1st bit your ahead but only slightly. then if the bastard bumps it in to 2nd your in his <deleted>++ing mirrors. been there done that (and the cbr250 was geared for acceleration). and if you give me shit about bike weight then it aint gonna work cos no way is a cbr 150 gonna get any were near 30hp let alone 45.

But do the calculation 90BHP is nothing close to 130BHP, or some road legal liter bikes doing 180BHP. Well, a 250cc MotoGP bike must weigh no less than 100kg; compare that with the Ducati 1098 which has (manufacturer spec so no gas, oil, or anything!!!) 173 kg. And rated power is only 160....rear wheel? Usually the numbers are 15-20% driveline loss. So you're looking at ~136 rear wheel. So while we're bench racing, let's say that the race 250cc makes some 0.90 'real' HP per kilo and the 1098 makes some 0.79 'real' HP per kilo (at best). And that's not counting the rider. Power to weight baby (plus the fact that the race bike, even having to live in a very narrow powerband, would be geared better). I'd still bet on the Ducati during a drag race though......

Richard-BKK Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Okay Sinewave, I'm not the lightest biker on Thaivisa, but I guess on a Ducati 1098S (I never checked) I hit 0 to 100km/h at about 3 to 4 seconds... sorry I not checked 140 yet... but give it one second more... which is probably spaces calculated...

Well it should all become clear.. and i repeat, at what point is the liter bike making full power? traction is dependent on clutch release...and in the case of a racebike, more often than not, the crank is slightly off balance to gain that traction, instead of slipping and spinning of the tire, the race bike 'bites' the pavement every 180 derees of revolution of the crank in the case of a single cylinder bike...reducing tire spin. how you like them apples?

Richard-BKK Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) The only way Sinewave is going to win from a liter bike is if he shows up dressed up like superman and tells a big bike rider you will not even see my taillight. Which is actual no lie, what ever we do we will never see Sinewaves taillight, as we leave it far far behind us, so by technicality he wins...
