Not keen. Barely cracks the ton. No gears. 45bhp? Out of 800cc? Don't think it's for me... ::)

And you could slip off on your own diesel spill... :(

[Rabb]

Think I'll give this one a miss too.

[redken1]

[goz1960]

I would think the same sort of thoughts were common with the first diesel cars.

Looks a bit KTM ish except some work experience kid was given the job of placing and designing the exhaust :o so as an off roader -if that is what it is :P-- it is actually useless ;D

[Jon_W]

[Col]

I'll have one!!!


Sort exhaust and I'd have one too..anything like landies it'll run on old frying fat :D

Gayer than Duncan Norvel at a Virago owners meet.
At 30 kilos heavier than a GS you wouldn't want to drop it either.

Needs a bit more development

I might put Petrol in the tank by mistake :D

[Swanny]

You could run it on old chip oil.

The problem with these Tracks is that they are so damn expensive. I hear that they start at around £15k, which for any bike is damn expensive.

If its supposed to be economical and save you money, thats a lot of miles you have to do before you get your money back! Though saying that, I get it if you are after a real adventure bike though - you know, 250 miles between fuel stops rules out a lot of bikes, while this one would cruise it. But then again, there are plenty of conventional bikes which have extended tank ranges - KTM and BMW do them off the top of my head.

Its going to take a brave buyer to leap for one of these ahead of a proven adventure bike. Except maybe a fast food restaurant owner - recycled chip fat or veg oil and no fuel costs? Could be interesting.
