How about a number etched into the exhaust which glows? Patent pending!

**laserracer** · 26th April 2010, 13:59

How about handlebars in the shape of your number...lol

interesting theres no rear shock linkage and the shape and the lean on the motor is interesting, also the seat goes a long way foward.

The linkage is on the top of the swingarm, and the fuel cap is at the back of the seat so the seat can go so far forward, that plastic box next to the engine is where the fuel pump is so that the fuel tank can be more adventurous, it had the swingarm located front sprocket like the G450X, and it will have some sort of red and white inbedded graphics like the 2010 huskys, and this is the base for the enduro, mx and adventure bikes

Dale has spoken.

Bike looks OK, for some reason it comes across slighly chinese.. Looks abit sharp/flimsy in places...

crickey, i sort of agree with you vin, it looks a bit tacky.
it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up when they have a full release and write ups.

**noobi** · 26th April 2010, 20:27

Who needs a full release when theres ..... more photos and some creative photoshopping http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/thr...h-bmw-motor/40

Check that out

I think this bike could potentially grow on me, but I think the front and rear fenders look abit overdone.. A little less dramatic would have made it look alot better imo.

**honda_power** · 26th April 2010, 20:59

imagine going on a long winter ride, covered in mud, and have to re-fuel... haha... youll have a pool of shit

re vazza yeah, that does look quite nice, still needs side plates. But just imagine sitting on it and looking at that guard the whole time

**noobi** · 26th April 2010, 21:03

I think they need to do something about the shovel fenders, especially with the gas cap being where it is, and a scoop shape directing trail crap straight at it.
It is a pre-production model anyway, wouldnt be surprised if it changes some. But the proof will be in how it performs, like any bike I guess.

hmm some of the mechanicle things get to me tho, im not a fan of the idea of the swing arm and sproket all as one, make it dificult to do a sproket change etc, like the linkage on top tho, gas cap looks like fk up to me, and the guards are hidious lol thats my view tho
