Did a super fun ride with a big group of like 15 guys yesterday. Was a great group as we kept a great pace all day which was stunning with the pile of riders we had. Was eyeing this dudes OSSA and he said take it for a rip so I did. Its basically a trials bike with a real seat. It is freakishly small and I was stepping off my 125. Reverse cylinder, EFI 2 stroke. Seems odd. Runs and rides almost exactly like the last trials bike i rode a GG. The ergonomics threw me for a loop and the trials like shifter being a mile from the footpeg was weird. Also the motor was typical trails bike torque and responsive. Found instead of shifting the way to tight gear box it made more sense to me to just shift up 2-3 gears high and run the stall free torque monster like that. Made the super tight single track seem wide. Was fun. Very small light bike that left like riding a mini. was not for me but very cool. EFI motor ran perfect. Cool little bike. The dude on it kept up with the group just fine.
Wonder if it would be a good play bike if you re-located the shifter and swapped the bars for something normal? K did it feel as light as it looks and how was starting it?
OH MY... I've had a boner for this bike for a while now... I was hoping you were going to say it was the sweetest bike you have ever ridden. hehe...
Its cool but not for me. And I dont think this is the bike you are thinking of. This is a trials bike with a seat. Your thinking of the enduro version of this which never happened.
Makes a much better rider of you. All the top guys these days seem to come from a trials background. And you can ride in it your neighborhood and have a good time :>)
If someone can make an electric dirt bike under 250lbs. with decent enough range and fast enough charge time, I'm there. A large part of what drives Anti OHV sentiment is the noise. Give me a silent dirt bike and there goes that complaint. Plus, if those jerks close off all our trails, they won't hear me poaching trails!
times 2x here I am eying this bike for some time and I would think it is a playfull town bike to hop over pedestrian obstacles, park benches (ocasional car ) road blocks still take it out on the trails ones in a while and when I have to do shopping the missus can sit on the back without complainig to much putting my missus on the back of a CRF 450X for 20 km is not good for my mariage (from exsperiance) Robert-Jan
