is that a kehin carb on it?
i liked the red calipers and clutch bleeding bit, but the matt black plastics look a bit tacky

souded ok went well enough, cobos has a clip in kill button to prevent theft I believe.
Biggest change I saw was the linkless rear end and paoli beta shock. Pretty sure its the Andorra bike with re welded swinging arm.

Its gonna have to be cheap to sell in any quantity......

I heard a rumor from some beta people stating that the true beta rear shock is around 1200 to 1700 dollars. If this really has the same shock then thats going to be expensive to add but i prefer it over whats currently available. The gasser header pipes are strong so that looks like a plus. Sherco style rear muffler is also a plus.

This bike is starting to look like it might be worth something.
If they can keep quality up and price down it might be a trend for current manufactures.

I like the current sherco style muffler mainly because of the shape.........stays away from the rear tire, a bit more difficult to smash...
But a total pain to repack, cut pack weld sheesh.

That would definitely jack up that price.
well there goes my dream of owning a NEW bike.
or possibly that is only on Cobos' bike and the production model gets a much cheaper version.

Looks like they had to cut the front fender off to stop it hooking over the front of the exhaust pipe, probably got a ways to go yet.
