laser1 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 As much as I'd like to see more technical information on the FI, Engine, Suspension ect.., I'd REALLY like to see some more company info. Production facilities and staff, Supplier agreements, Importers ect.. Given the target dates of manufactuer, I would have expected alot of this to be sorted out by now. I hope they can meet the stated timeline with a production launch thats as impressive as the bike - tough shoes to fill, but would REALLY love to see it.

for artie Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 How come its not made front page like Sherco and Scorpa? The photo shop is bang on as it needs the tank vamping up, as the current scheme lets the bike down. Perhaps they forgot to send Andy the Press Kit. Is that the case Boss?

Press Release has names of all they key players of the Company and their positions. Importers surely have not been determined yet, remember details were a secret until a few days ago.

b40rt Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Okay, after 10 minutes navigating that miserable old fart I call Dad to the pics, his total response was as follows:"F**K me that's gorgeous"....... So that's it, it has to be amazing. Sure he was looking at the right site ? Doncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordi Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Its possible that the Ossa was launched after the rag went to print may have had something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Okay, after 10 minutes navigating that miserable old fart I call Dad to the pics, his total response was as follows:"F**K me that's gorgeous"....... So that's it, it has to be amazing. Maybe Dad and me would hit it off, based upon the response, quite similar. Does he also refer to you as a ducky smart a--e? The other thing that struck my senile mind today was the clutch cover on these things, very Gasser in a pusher type diaphram, then two and two also came together ! Fact is, I do believe that gassers patent rights may have expired! But good on them anyway, as it seems that after a few years they did finally get them to work well!

atomant Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) I dont get the upside down forks though. Apart from the valid comments about damage etc, it puts more weight higher up and you want the weight as low as possible to aid stability? I cant help but be impressed that in the current financial state of the planet, there are some bold businessmen out there willing to do this stuff. Fair play Edited November 14, 2009 by AtomAnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I cant help but be impressed that in the current financial state of the planet, there are some bold businessmen out there willing to do this stuff. Fair play Don't you think it was probably in the pipeline well before the crunch kicked in so they stuck with it anyway(no going back if you like). Other projects that were about have been shelved/scrapped this year. Can't help thinking the rev cyl is a gimmick, it was used on some Yam tzr's and tz racers but didn't get too far. I am sure it was played with before but again never really took off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet James stewart new about this a year ago , it obviously isn't a gimmick to him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will need sponsorship from somewhere if they keep missing scoops like that. Never mind,it might make next week,or the "bumper" xmas edition..
