Saw these at the NEC and thought "fun but never in production"

seems I might have been wrong.

Imagine trials meets supermoto meets BMX

They look awesome.

They look damn cool but I'm wondering where you'd ride it? You wouldn't be able to ride it on the pavement or in skateparks because it's got an engine.

If I was going to get something like that I think I'd just get a CR80 or something similar.

They do look damn cool though Cool

looks like a road legal trials bike- looks like it would be fun in a car park, but not much use elsewhere.... maybe a fun city commuter.

I still want a go like Very Happy

They are road legal.

Would make an excellent city commuter. Suppose it could be used for green laning. Probally excellent in a disused quarry.

I want one but can't afford one.

Cool but over priced.

It's a 250 4 stroke.

Weight is similar to a 250 2stroke mx bike, but a whole load less power.

Dimensions were fairly similar I think.

So I'm sure you could make something similar, but better for a lot less and only a bit of work.

If it weighed 20-40kg less it would have been a bit more interesting.

(Yes, I know there was some vids of people doing stupid things on 'em, but I wonder if they could do the same on mx bikes anyway?)

you couldnt do some of those tricks on an MX bike, at least not a 2stroke machine anyway. Yes there was some skill shown there, but i cant help thinking everything they did would be eaiser, faster and more fun on a Trials bike.
Give me a GasGas 320TXT with a lighting kit anyday!

I've been thinking about what it'd be like making a trial bike road legal and fitting it with supermoto tyres...
This is pretty much what I imagined, only a trial is less realistic because of the saddle. I reckon its more powerfull though...

palmer · Fiddled Kiddy Joined: 21 Jul 2004 Karma :

less power than a 250 2t bike G, but probably more torque? and mroe towrque on a bike like that must mean more fun right ? Laughing
