December 8, 200718 yr Having stripped a GG down to the frame, its surprisingly heavy. But remember its built for the masses. No reason why a lot of weight couldn't be saved from the frame using better materials, butted tubing etc. I would guess that the frame spars are about half the size on the prototype. If cycle frames are anything to go by there's no reason why you wouldn't lose strength. It would just cost a lot more!

December 9, 200718 yr Was that the one with the tractor incident? No, the year before that one. The year Sam won
December 9, 200718 yr I recall a moto-x engine being very successful in a trials bike in the '80's (OK it won only one world round, but it made a damn fine bike for the rest of the market). I guess there are many other examples too! Nothing beats a good engineer..... apart from a physicist!
