[QUOTE="kmanflyer, post: 1407375, member: 91752"] They've been fiddle'farten around with this bike for five years! They're overthinking this thing. They have 2 great common motors already. The twin 700 and the triple 900, just build a great dirt bike frame to go around them. 2 Dirt bike's using proven motors they all ready build for 2 model lines. Of course they would need to tune them appropriately, but how hard is that? Maybe they could get Ivan to help them since they can't seem to get it right anyway.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] By the time they bring this thing to market it's going to be too expensive and under whelming compared to the "orange bike" they're trying to emulate. If it costs anywhere close to the Africa Twin it won't sell very many. I will bet it will not make it to the US. For most people the DR or the KLR is plenty of bike for getting muddy.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/bike.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
