“The question is: how do we get a new generation into riding? To do that, we must break barriers by making bikes affordable – easy on the pocket, fun and pleasing on the eye.“ Not sure a 440cc with 27hp and 27lbf ft of torque is going to be fun but what it certainly isn’t, is pleasing on the eye Still 2 out of 3 ain’t bad Andy
If it brings young riders in, it can only be a good thing. The power figures to us more experienced riders might seem a little tame but I hope it’s a success.
Can't see it myself, too much anti motorcycle rhetoric. Biggest market is food delivery learner licence scooters. The expected explosion of Chinese imports doesn't seem to have happened where I am either. Andy
Time will tell I guess. I’m in Madrid for a few days and while there are lots of scoots there are also a fair few ‘big’ bikes. It pissed down today and it broke my heart seeing them getting wet.
I've seen a shift away from a huge number of Monsters in Barcelona to scooters over the last 20 years. Andy
Like most stuff chinese i give something like that about 2 years before it starts to disolve underneath the rider going through the uk weather.... If the big boys cant get it right most of the time theyve got no chance...and yes i mean ducati....among the shittest of coatings ever..followed closely by KTM..very closely...
