Hope this bike splits the difference between my old one and my TX 300. Reliability parts availability… My whole crew is really pumped.

      As of a few months ago, fantic wasn't going to export these to the US as part of the agreement with yamaha. Id imagine parts availability will be inconvenient since everything will have to be imported from Europe. But Things could have changed within the last several months and maybe im wrong...

    This bike is supposedly licensable / street legal. I would love for you to throw the blinkers and mirrors on it at some point and see if you can indeed get it licensed in Colorado. I'm sure they are a bit more lax then California, but I'd love some content on the hassle or not of getting one registered. To get a two-stroke that runs "Like A Bat Out of Hell" licensed anywhere, especially in California, with the way the laws are going, makes this bike a "SUPER UNICORN"

    I think that it needs six gears, a balancer shaft and a better protected clutch slave cylinder before it can be a serious threat to the Austrian bikes.

    • @highlandcycles
      @highlandcycles  8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      All of that would be nice for sure. The gearbox won’t happen until there is a frame/case change. There isn’t room unfortunately. Hopefully someone will make some kind of guard for that slave because it scares me. And it vibrates less than my counter balanced beta. It’s is more vibey than my KTM though.

    • @sarahdell4042
      @sarahdell4042 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      If you’re using this for enduro type stuff. Chances are you’ll never even need a 6th gear unless you’re on connecting trails that are long straights.
      I have over 300 hours on my enduro bike, and have had it in 6th gear for maybe 30 minutes total ride time?

      Street legal anywhere in Europe (it's been around for a year or so here) though they come in the race version and you fit the street stuff yourself or the dealer does. BUT they are then restricted down to 15hp which is normal, my 200EXC is officially 11hp and my 450 12hp. It's the way it is.
      Enduro bikes must be road registered to race F.I.M. events.
