Nice idea. I've always liked this type of bike. But the price...

 

[55024]

I'll stick w/the Katoom, for now. The new Husky looks interesting, also.

 

[Buzglyd]

Is it just me or does Derbi Mulhacen sound like an actor on The OC or something like that?

 

[Fenton]

It's just you that watches The OC.

 

[Buzglyd]

Where else does one get culture?

 

[56599]

Yep I was going to say "What's OC?" But.you're right about the name....When your son gets older you can quit watching OC. My daughters are constantly correcting and instructing me on pop culture. My youngest can't wait till she get's her license so she doesn't have to listen to my sports talk and alternative rock (which I think makes me hip but my daughter thinks I am lame she likes the rap crap)

Fox news?

















I'm sorry.

I like the concept, and I do like the looks. The engine sounds like it's just a hair under what I would accept in a street bike, though, and too expensive. Piaggio, don't bring it here without working on it just a little bit, otherwise broken hearts will abound.

 

[KLRer]

I don't want to be harsh, but this seems ......not that great. For what-- $10,000?? I probably missed something. I'm not even sure what a "flat track" bike is, for one thing.

Good test, informative, thanks. Sounds like it has potential but needs refinement. Even well sorted out it would face stiff competition in that price range with similar bikes from KTM and Husky.

 

[56599]

LOL You're funny. I am trying to avoid making cheap shoots like that in 2007 i.e. from kspike to ksoft a kinder, gentler kpaul..

 

[supecoop]

Another great report from Europe. This is a beautiful bike. I love the swingarm. Overall it looks like an Aprilia but for a few thousand more I could get a Tuono.

The high price is cause...

Neat bike..But if folks are wondering why the price is high they should look at the the Dollar to Euro exchange rate(all of those deficits that W is charging up are starting to have an effect. And the Europeans have enough financial market experience and free floating rates unlike the Chinese.. Once the Chinese float their currency and catch on that our dollar aint worth crap....No more cheap stuff.. Thanks W for a 35% decline in the dollar against the Euro, I can see all that hard work you did in getting a C in economics really paid off for the country..

I.....



Never fcukin' mind.

Re: The high price is cause...

Sorry about the tirade but this currency issue will force the price up on Japenese motorcycles as well..I have been watching oe Scarborough on MSNBC and his battle with Bill O'Rielly from Fox. Joe is a real Republican in my mind and he has been pointing out the problems with W and the neocons for awhile. Wish he would run for president. Great modern hi-tech motorcycles from Japan, U.K. and Italy are gong to become expensive because of the reckless fiscal policies of this admin. Good news for Harley and Buell.. Bad news for the motorcycle consumer.

 

[Buzglyd]

Don't worry. This is about the 6th year of that one.



Pretty soon you'll start seeing the threats to leave and never return.

 

[Fenton]

I can't spell and wanted to comment on "cheap shoots"

 

[56599]

Now Now gentlemen let's not turn this thread into a Kook bashing thread That is sooo last year.....serazawa and schitznoodle are sleeping now don't wake them up..

 

[BrowningBAR]

Hey, I like cheap shoots. My Marlin model 60 was a hundred bucks, accurate as hell, and only costs 9 bucks for 500 rounds!

 

[56599]

Yep I had one of those too.. Hope you don't come from the **** Cheney school of Hunter Safety
