Sooo last week. Looks sweet.

[james wilson]

bembo brakes on a pushy!

[Captain Blake]

Too bad they need a different adapter for the front brake.
Looks nice.

Oh and that bike could be made soo much lighter.
Boxxer airs, DHX (even air), SRAM X0, 721s, ahhh the list goes on.

[joyce]

looks nice, though they look to be persistant with a 8mm bolt for the swing arm pivot, perhaps a little weak.
still it looks great and light 10lbs?? with or without the shock?

[bolzy]

Sooo last week. Looks sweet.

lol but it looks like it will break on first run

[daddyrat]

[Cletus]

would there be any advantage to the dics being two peice? looks kinda unnessisarily(spelling) heavy. bet they work sweet though

They're lighter, and don't heat up as much. Or at least thats what the hope ones do.

[bb7 rider]

mines a little under 10pounds with 10 inches and 3' stroke shock.

and the 2 peice disc is a floating disc.

[lotec]

old news :P and how can you have brembos without red calipers, its just not right :(

Plane ticket to where now?

[floody]

Plane ticket to where now?

Yeah what he said, if only for the alcohol and fried food :D

Soooo...Not exactly breaking new ground are they? But hey, if it works, then refine it, don't fix it...

[action man]

old news :P and how can you have brembos without red calipers, its just not right :(


while i agree that red brembo's would look good i think that a nice gold set would look even tricker, well they do on motorbikes anyway.

[miko]

Can I say it??

Looks flexy...

I've always wanted to do that :P

Very nice though, assuming it isn't.

[Wattsy]

Can I say it??

Looks flexy...

I've always wanted to do that :P



you had to say it, geez, and nope, it aint flexy, its just sexy.

[FoxRidersCo]

Drool....!!! :-)

[stinkyfreak]

lookign really nice. im liking the design

[Doesur]

:eek: Front brake on the left side??... Weird, never seen that before.

american..

[bradh]

american..
or personal preference.

[ZZ]

The little swing arm bolts have never been a problem. There's a shaft that the swing arm runs on so the pressure is not just on a little bolt, only the head of the bolt is actually under any use and the swingarm takes up the load for that from being on the other side if that makes sense.
Put me first on the list BB7 rider.

[Wattsy]

Put me first on the list BB7 rider.

nun ah, im first.

bradh = im just saying thats the way because there american snaps from shows and thats the way the NH puts em on, like the side of the road they drive on. but yer, like graves, it could be a personal preference.

[No Skid Marks]

Yeah stop squabling, the line starts behind me.

I wasn't refuting what you were saying, but rather adding to it.


(Back brake / right hand feels more natural IMO, but that's a whole other debate...)

[bb7 rider]

looks like an april wait

[chie]

that bike is awesome and yeah brembo brakes in red would be pretty cool

[dj739]

put me down for the brembos...:)

[AirForceOnes]

brembo red brakes on the white frame... yummy

[zids]

that looks so, so sweet *druels on key board*

[Dim]

they are looking the goods, when are they in aus and whos gonna improt them?

[and1]

Cyclone imports is going to be doing the importing of them and it looks like you'll be waiting till about April '06 before getting your grubby hands on one.

[lotec]

bb7_rider is the AUS Balfa importer im guessing when he says "looks like an april wait" they will be available next april

[Balfa_Oli]

That is a very very sexy bike.
If only i had a real job

[No Skid Marks]

I hear the local cemetry is looking for grave diggers,you should apply.
Yoo'll have plenty of time to save. I'm at the front of the quee anyway.
