This was spotted at the Neeroeteren GP.

It looks pretty skimpy to me!





Enjoy.:

Cool pics!

[CDN_YZee]

i think it looks kinda neat...not sure how functional the frame is though...looks more modern art then practicality

[Roostman]

Doesnt look like there is a downtube to support and protect the engine. Thats kinda scary. The swingarm is pretty sweet looking and stiff Ill bet. BTW, someone posted pics of this a couple monthes ago, but no biggie. Interesting to see another mfg. outlook and approach to the MX bikes!

[desertfreak]

ive seen pics of it in black and it looks better

[MotoMojo17]

Those side number plates look less functional than Ktms! And there is no kickstarter. The brake rotors look nice. And that is one goofy looking frame!! I am wondering if it is for motocross or woods with it being electric started, because it must be heavy. And it could be a lot lighter if they cut out all the exotic loop de doos in the frame that don't do anything.

That is one unique lokking bike.

It sure is a bad *** looking bike, wish I could try one out I bet they are a kick.

[dirtdemon4life]

It was originally for super moto, but it has been raced in a MX. That bike is sweet, but I bet the price tag is well over 10 g's...AT LEAST.

It placed 4th in an Italian National MX and is reported to put out around 70HP. THe frame is steel and aluminum. It also sports a dual exaust under the seat.

[Woody_393]

70 HP : wow!

I wish they would put some number plates on the side. Other wise it's pretty sweet!

[psycho393]

I don't see any part of the frame as useless. After extensive review of close pictures of the engine are and the purpose of each part of the frame I see direct intent for funtion not viewing pleasure. If it really does put out 70 hp I'm starting to wonder what the top speed for a wheely is. Also I believe that the super stiff swing arm is probably ok because of the vertical stand of the rear shock. The more vertical stand of the rear shock will absorb more bumps than a traditional laid down shock would, thus transmiting less shock to the rest of the frame and rider. Just my .02

I don't like it. Not one bit. It's weird.
Just looks ugly, and heavy IMO. and it can't be comfortable to ride judging from the design of that seat
