fair play, been told they use the same fork/shock set up as the lxr as well as roller bearings in the linkage rather than sh*tty plastic bushes. gonna be mainly used for tarmac riding- any good?

'apparently' they're made in the same factory as the lxr's?

ok not sure about the one you posted up.. but the ones in AUS dont run the same shock / fork set up as the LXR and also the bearings have nothing on the LXR and die reasonably fast, so i beleive.
got a link to the one you posted?

Think the bearing issue is more a lubrication thing than anything ... they roll off the line dry so if ya don't grease ya linkage bearings the fall apart ... havin said that I've run mine up n down my beach for a month and they are hangin in there ... sure they are'nt jap quality but they'll hang in for a while if they are greased ... I'VE got a new set of bearings for it but have'nt needed em yet .
As for the likage rear end in general ? ... I'm stoked

compared to the lxr , it looks like it has the smaller frame and longer swingarm , which is a weird match.
The engine mounts are different so id say its a different frame altogether from the lxr , going off just the 1 pic.
swingarm looks pretty close to the lxr's tho
Shroud looks like a ttr one , not the lxr one which they designed themselves (slight differences) which to a untrained eye you wont notice , and saying that i doubt it would be from the same factory as they would of used the lxr plastic moulds.
from what i can see on the front hub , it looks like your regular china hub , so they are far below the lxr's wheels quality.
also a single oil cooler not twin.
But the swingarm/linkage setup looks pretty much like a lxr unit.
Got any more info or pictures? and links to your other threads.

sorry woggy...
it is from the same factory as pitster pro and yes they are due early december..
they run a different frame but basically same sht different day..
i have been told there like 95% the same as the LXR, same swinga, linkage shock, forks, plastics blah blah blah... but the retailer can order them in different configurations.. 125cc,140cc and 155
oh and theres already a couple in aus now but there promotional bikes (1 race bike as well)
what price are you getting one for?

That one looks fair different. definitely different shrouds from the lxr and the swinger , has the frd pegs tho and the lxr style bashplate and chain guide looks the same as well.
also has the wider bolt pattern for the sprocket , so definitely not lxr wheels either.
what are they called?
