August 1, 201016 yr It's about damn time they moved the coolant lines away from the exhaust. Looking nice I must say.
August 2, 201016 yr It's about damn time they moved the coolant lines away from the exhaust. Hmmm... I could be wrong but it looks like the coolant line coming from the water pump passes directly underneath the exhaust port. Great idea with the filler cap although what happens when the bike is upside-down?...how does this tank breathe? Yes it looks great (it does every year) but without fuel injection it might struggle to win my dollars. ... FI is along time coming and quite frankly I'm getting bored of waiting. Best of balance.

August 2, 201016 yr Now my only concern would be that they have a groove around a raised filler neck so spillage doesn't wash crud from the fender into the tank.
August 3, 201016 yr I love the look of this next model, i have started saving already . I have read that the 290cc models will come with a delorto flatside carb!
August 4, 201016 yr They copied the Rothmans Hondas colour scheme. Edited August 4, 201016 yr by for artie
August 5, 201016 yr Hummm as you say - long header pipe - they used to promote power down in the lower revs if i remember correctly. Bit of a contrast to the new ossa with a short header?
August 6, 201016 yr Possible titanium header? Doesn't look chrome like previous years, similar to the ti header that came on the cabastany.
August 6, 201016 yr The long header has been around for a while, since '05 as I recall, and does indeed seem to bring out a bit more low end grunt out of the motor on most accounts. The 28mm VHST carby on the 2.9's has some real technical advantages over the standard PHBL. Hopefully they have these things worked out, as it is obvious enough that Sherco is ready and willing to run with them at this point. Should offer a good power apply and lots of top end! Similar to the 28 Kiehin which is still finiky! Yet for the average punter, I would still think a standard 250 the way to go. Ask for too much and your plate runneth over!
August 6, 201016 yr I reckon you're right on the blue rims, gold just looks cheap to me And I think that rims that are anodized right to the outer edges like that will look like crap once they've scuffed their first rock. Best of balance. Neo
