You know what you have to hand it to them in a climate that is is in global financial turmoil they have come through and produced what seems to be a pretty good looking pair of bikes, so good effort.

Would anyone else taking into account the above plus the fact that the market demand for trials bikes is very small be prepared to produce a bike, but we have people that are prepared along with OSSA, GREEVES and whatever JT is going to do in recent times so bloody well done and good luck?

Now how it rides is the factor here because their last effort wasn't too good, but if it handles ok and the price is right then you got to say you would sooner have that than the Greeves which is way over priced?

It may look like a SherGasBetOssa, but the courts have judged differently so we may see a few more a trials soon?

I can't help saying this but I actually think it look the part. Could be one of the better looking bike. As Gizza says if it rides well and is priced right they will sell looking like that.

Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

They need results. What wins on Sunday sells on Monday.

That may have been the case several years ago when the average working man had some disposable income to spend on which bike he chooses.

As said if priced right and rides ok then this will sell, because it could be affordable.

Tony Bou wins on Sundays but it don't sell Montesa's in volumes and some of that would be down to price?
