Did it look like the prototype. as far as anyone knows there has only ever been the one bike, so perhaps this is one of a pre production run? was it new?

Quite a few reasons I guess HAM2. Firstly coz for some unknown reason I've always not wanted to follow trends ..guess thats what drew me to trials in the first place, when alot of my mates were going road-racing. Also coz I lived in China for 10 years and would kind of like to support their first venture into trials bikes, although I suppose one could say that its not totally Chinese in that its a Spanish company isnt it?
Would be kind of cool to be the one to buck the trend and try something new eh?..I guess there'l be plenty that might say thats a bit mad, but only time will tell..maybe it will be really good?

I thought that when I had one of the first Sherco 4t's ! :huh:

Best to let someone else try something new first me thinks
