Not so much the economic climate - rather the pig ugly design.

How can it be ugly when they have spent £100k developing it?

I think if they done well to design & develop it from scratch on a 100k budget. Thats pocket change in the development game. .. its still pig ugly though and wouldn't cost much to make it look half decent.. let me at it HA-HA

Well the forks and yokes are straight from a gasser so no cost there.
The wheels are industry standard spanish/italian.
The motor is a sherco copy.
So you would need a 100k plus to do the frame and linkage?
No wonder this country's in a state.

Looks like they spent it all on frame and graphics ! probably 99.9% frame and 0.1% graphics

You have more chance of seeing a Xispa before you see one of these I reckon......
