November 12, 201411 yr After seeing that for the first time, I have to say that bike looks outstanding - The power delivery looks incredibly balanced and powerful - It looks elegant and flows over the obstacles so the suspension is working well - it looks lightweight too and It has blown me away - Simply the best prototype bike I have ever seen and will easily be a threat to the other marques. Great Job Edited November 21, 201411 yr by atomant
November 12, 201411 yr That's a fair bit to have determined from watching a five minute video atomant! Now think of all the videos you've seen of Doug riding over the past two decades & read this statement back to yourself. ?..

November 12, 201411 yr That's a fair bit to have determined from watching a five minute video atomant! Now think of all the videos you've seen of Doug riding over the past two decades & read this statement back to yourself. Boy.....my thoughts exactly !!! The video could have been filmed using any bike considering the talent of those 2 riders
November 12, 201411 yr I thought the bike looked and sounded great. I suppose the big question now is how much? Around £5500-£6000 would be a good start but if the rumours of £8000 are true, then it might be too much for a clubman bike.
November 12, 201411 yr Well, now we know the vertigo can run for more than 5 minutes and do what Dougie could have done 10 years ago on a Beta. Is the most of video (last 30 seconds excepted) fuzzy?
November 12, 201411 yr Moret? surely he wont break much delf? Thats a finished bike not a prototype. Looks a great article tho...
November 12, 201411 yr Love to see a UK style promo vid... something like a rain lashed Butser Lime Works in November or December. I'm sure that would fire up the dreary British punters. 1988 World Round <
November 13, 201411 yr reminded me of the beta promo video that jordi tares did around 87/88. got to hand it to doug its a proper nice looking bit of kit
November 13, 201411 yr Looks very nice and Dougie is certainly very confident about it. I'm must say.... that fi sounds very nice. Good luck to them
November 13, 201411 yr Jeez what is the matter with you people ! If you can't see that bike looks impressive FOR A PROTOTYPE , then you must need a trip to specsavers ! Also, comments like "Well, now we know the vertigo can run for more than 5 minutes and do what Dougie could have done 10 years ago on a Beta." sometimes I wonder why these people who invest millions of their own wealth ( and lets face it, will never get it back), bother sometimes.
November 13, 201411 yr now I like how the vertigo sounded, dont think I'll be rushing in till they have a least a year of production under there belt to iron out the niggles.
