I imagine you guys are all joking, but I'd love to see an new Fantic Trials bike. I had two Fantics, a 92 309 and a 94 KRoo. That KRoo was one of the most fun Trials bikes I've owned. What a motor! Had lot of suspension, lots of ground clearance and would go up and over anything. Just point and pull the trigger! The only problems I ever had was when I put brake fluid in the clutch...bad bad, those plastic fender braces, and that horizontal fan over the cylinder. I finally put a GAS GAS fan in there and it was fixed. I'm riding a 99 GAS GAS 321 right now. I like it a lot, and it's been a great bike, lots better than I can ride, but there's just not much that really excites me enough to upgrade. I might for a new up to date Fantic though! :D

Is there any other info yet?

Which engine(s) are they going to use.

For a small startup company even with such a great name the engine is going to be the biggest single cost if a new one is developed. I don't imagine anything extraordanary from them as there is only so much you can still do to a trials bike that would be called new.

Anyone know if Massimo Bianchi (one of the two who has purchased the Fantic name) is any relation to the Bianchi family that owns Beta? Could be some good financing if he is, not just a small operation.
