dortwilder Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Stumbled upon this video at Phototrial.it of David Cobos riding the Xispa in Maisse, France (WTC Round 5?). http://www.phototrial.it/2008/2008srg-video-david.html and photos here http://www.phototrial.it/2008/david.html DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 yes old stuff of the only xispa in existance nearly a year now since it first appeared in Andorra 2007, now with linless mod to rear swinging arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dortwilder Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 And the exhaust has also changed shape..... Yes - it is still only one - i wonder when they are going to actually start manufacturing them? But it is good to see they are taking the time to test it & make modifications and get it right before they try to sell them. I guess we will know towards the end of 2008.

dgshannon Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 But it is good to see they are taking the time to test it & make modifications and get it right before they try to sell them. What makes you think testing and modifications are the cause for delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordi Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 And to be fair that bike can do things that 99% of us cannot.... Cobos can still ride a bit eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postmanpat Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Don't knock it saw it yesterday at a trial,there were more crap sounding betas than the xispa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoman2k8 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Read the review in YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE, looks like its gonna be a hit if they sort the forks and setup the carb properly. The airbox looks like it will fit a sherco, wonder if it leaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Don't knock it saw it yesterday at a trial,there were more crap sounding betas than the xispa Now thats probably about right Another point if the bike is reliable, parts are cheap, it rides ok and the price is right then you will be able to have 2 bikes!!! against the price of a new Mont 4RT Practice bike and Comp bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 nice to see a few more positive comments coming in. Personally I think with the right people at the helm there is alot of skill and talent in China that could produce something that would at least equal current marks, if not better them.

Personally I think with the right people at the helm there is alot of skill and talent in China that could produce something that would at least equal current marks, if not better them. What? More solid than a Gasser? More watertight than a Sherco? With more reliable electrics than a Beta? Cheaper than a Honda? Cleaner running than the Beta? Better starting than the Sherco 4T? Are you mad? Just crazy talk, you're a hard task master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyf Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 ha ha, awesome. i think its good for trials, be nice to see if they get a top world/ british rider on one (in comps un that) give it 2years of production and it will be on a par with a gasser and a sherco, i remember when the sherco/bultaco came out (when cobos rode that) and everyone was slagging that off to.
