October 27, 200520 yr hi all, just got back from the bike show at the NEC. and interestingly saw that birkett was there with the new 4 stroke. i had a quick stand on it and it does feel like a real trials bike, nice and slim, and most importantly, 4kg lighter than the mont 4rt birks reckons that it is mainly light at the front, whic i can understand, it is damn light, but i lifted the back end up, and it feels like the gasser. unfortunately it was purely for display purposes and i couldnt just go and have a spin, but i certainly wouldnt pass up the opportunity to have a play on one in february when they are expected to come out. also, the underseat twin pipe looks the business up close, and nigel assures me that there isnt a chance of you filling it with crap, but one thought that did spring to mind is how much will a new one cost?!? i am assuming that it will be like the shercos to repack, splitting it and re welding, NIGHTMARE!! anyway, just a little bit to re-kindle any interest that has been lost since it was last mentioned in here.
October 28, 200520 yr Have they presented the bike with the colour and graphics it is to be released in.Has anyone a pic if it is decaled up.
October 28, 200520 yr Mate of mine has also been to the show and brought back the Scorpa brochure. Bike looks pretty much the same as it was in the release at the French round, don't think there are any additional decals. He said it does look pretty good 'in the flesh' though.
October 28, 200520 yr Author they havent stuck on the graphics yet, but i am fairly sure (not positive) that the plastics will be blue to in keep with the rest of the range.
