Scott had early beginnings in junior motocross and speedway but the biggest part of his competitive life has been spent on two wheels – road racing motorcycles. Scott started with 250 production bikes and moved through most classes to the very top of the sport, Formula 1/Superbike.
Scott raced 125 and 250 gearbox karts and raced senior motocross at 125cc national title level and 250 pro at club level.
Scott started racing speedway midgets in 1999, currently with a best of 2nd at the NZ Title, and a win in the GP Title. Midgets haven’t changed much over the last 20 years so in 2015 Scott built an innovative prototype (BSL Terra Midget) which is still under development.
Scott started building the BSL Terra-branded cars for off-road racing in 2008 and is currently ranked 2NZ in off-roading and is the Class 10 Champion.

2006 Kawakaki ZX14r:
This design is possibly a world first for a motorcycle engine off-road race car due to the engine being behind the rear axle to balance the car over rough terrain.
It was designed, built and tested by Scott Buckley of BSL Racing Ltd and adheres to the Off-Road Racing NZ Class 10 rules. This class includes all off-road vehicles not powered by a conventional production-type car engine.
Weighing only 600kg, the space frame BSL Terra is powered by a Kawasaki ZX14r motor, with 211hp @ 11,000 rpm (redline) and 106 ft lbs of torque. It has a BSL Racing-built differential; 4 x 10” Fox coil over shocks; three tube bypass extra rear dampers; electric power steering; CNC brake controls (bias adjustable); Wilwood calipers.
It also features three-point rear suspension with 17” travel and asymmetrical dual A arm front suspension with 18” travel.
