Ok crew finally got a look at the puppy yesterday...didn't get much of a ride but Durant's got one on the way and I won't be far behind but I'll get some snaps up soon but I can tell ya a bit about the bike and how the model came about.
Kenny ,Durant Durant and Myself were present at the 50sBrotherhood industry shootout and we got a chance to check out most of the other top class bikes in the industy...we were pretty impressed with the vert's handling, frame and Ergos but we were a bit suss on the motor ... in particular the shorter stroke and tendency to overheat when pushed..we had oil temps checked on all the bikes and the vert was near 140 degrees
after a good flogging, but still waaay hotter than the Lifans.We thought the bike would run well with a lifan140 and we could drop the price with a different choice of suspenders.
So three days after the shootout Kenny left for china to bring back a midsize model.....This is what he has brought back.
It's basically the same frame and swinger as the new vert but with a 140 lifan, Dnm rear shock ,and killer new graphics.The forks are cool too plenty of travel and rebound and comp on each leg so they should set up well.The new m.s.o bars are great and over all the bike has a great feel from the bars to the pegs.
Like I said didn't get much of a ride but the little squirt I had was enough to sell me on one ....When Durant's gets here in a week or so I'll write more and post pics ...but yeah at $2,500 another awsome addition to the range and I think Kenny's kicked another goal, Bushy's already throwin em out the door at Fittycoast and you'll see a few at the SX.
