Hmmm, could be a really nice bike? Be interesting to see what they actually put in it engine and suspension wise. Can't see it being a cheap bike though, being it's a Beta.

i dont see many specs on it.. i assume it would have marzochis in it and a zongshen engine maybe? looks like a re-branded bike

I thought it was going to be a trials bike with a pitty motor when I read the title, like this poshttp://m.alibaba.com/product-gs/582257677/Trial_Dirt_Bike_FR1000.html

that would be a heap of fun, i would like a ossa trials bike infact i would love to own one... but there like 10K for somthing you could not even get on the road (then you could ride to the trails)

Could always buy a complianced ty175. I wish I had compliance on this, my 87 Fantic 243

i just dont think adr compliance and what not is necessary, i mean a break distance and whatnot matters but if i buy a bike and want to get it on the road im obviously going to test it off road and realise when the frame is too weak and re-enforce it.. i guess the world is designed for idiot's that will sue at the 1st moment

totally agree, but then again i have come across so much dodgy crap on old cars and bikes over the years, some people should never be allowed near a angle grinder, stick welder, pop riveter, etc. My mate bought a chopped triumph a few years back, it looked like it was solid as all **** but on a ride a few weeks after he got it the bike started literally raking out as he rode, ****ty welds with no penetration ground right down, lots of bog, downtubes cut and welded together end on end with no plugs and porous welds. This was a bike we had known for years and had been ridden hard, still astounds me when i think of how badly it could of ended. We had to cut off the headstem and rebuild it with new downtubes and backbone, the guy he got it from still claimed it was safe and a job well done and pretty much told us to **** off. Think he got the idea how unsafe rusty twisted metal is when it came through his lounge room window soon after

Yeah, but if you chop it and whatnot with a adr plate when its already registered most people get away with it..

if its a icv it should not need one then mass produced then yes to protect the consumer

some people should not be allowed to own a mechanical anything let alone modify and try to engineer one..
