    So who's going to buy one?

    Ok so who's got the balls to buy the new Maico 680cc two stroke weighing in at 101kg and slapping on sum new wheels to tard the beast?

    80 hp thats gotta be crazy.

    theres going to be a 250 300 500 625 and the 680 I'm sure this'll bring the numbers up in the motard classes?

    I hear in europe all the motarders are getting pretty exited about them.

    god just think of the possibilitie this power house will bring, i think it's going to make me cry lol.

    This thread is useless without pics!

    Oh, and if you wanted insane - why not get the guys at TSS chuck a 500 ccm 2-stroke in you WR450 to replace that weak 4-stroke. It's a 112 hps powerplant IIRC

    It might have the specs, but:

    1. A 5-speed transmission in a super-moto is 1-speed too little.
    2. It's not exactly the prettiest thing I've seen.

    Still, would love to have a go

    very good points there man.

    could change it to have an uber long 1st gear like all the sportbikes do.

    yeah and it does look a bit odd

    Unless the gearing and torque are matched?
