    Um, what is it.

    Styling isn't bad, better than a KLR

    The front wheel looks like it's only 17" so not much good for anything really bumpy, and there's lots of debate about the strength of cast wheels for off road use. The front caliper looks pretty weedy.

    Might be ok for a street bike though.

    You may find front tyre options limited with a 16". Wonder how heavy it is.

    There's a lot of info written very strangely there, or missing altogether, but appears to be a street bike.
    End of story.

    What do you mean by that? those performance figures for passing etc?
    Ive seen those before, it refers to seconds to pass a moving vehicle at a certain speed. its ECC compliance stuff.
    Strange how they describe the forks though? I believe 'complex' means progressive.
    I wonder what turning degree 45 means?

    You've got to read a bit deeper Mr Weta....they are a german attempt to get the tweeny market inducted into the religion of the holy driveshaft. The manufacturer is actually a shell company for BMW and they have that hard man Charlie Boorman as the off road consultant.

    I would think a fleet of those would be a great addition to your stable, think of how many 12 year olds you can get introduced to the dirt on those (probably intimately the first time they go of a sealed surface).

    Let us know how it goes........

    That's what I mean, I never seen them before. Where's the stuff I'm used to seeing... weight, HP, Torque figures for starters.
    Not that they're that important because just looking at it, on the surface it screams keep me on the black stuff.
    Still, you never know, it might surprise.

    I presume they are made from the highest quality materials in China.
