gizza5 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 So the next generation model was at the Telford Show over the weekend! Did all of you that looked at it have to sign the ''official secret act''? because it is very quiet? Or was it that good you want to keep stum so you beat the rush and you can get your hands on the first batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickymicky Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Talk at the show was that it was supposed to be going on the Dragons' Den but it was too heavy to get up the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Only had a quick glance as I walked past it as I'm not really interested in the modern stuff any more - not even the Ossa.... It looked neater round the headstock than the previous model and the plastics/colours seemed to have been tidied. Quick impression was that it looked smaller and neater than last year but I didn't have a good look so can't give an objective view really. I saw enough people around it as it was close to my mate's stand, so someone on here must have looked at it closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpa Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well it certainly looks a lot better than the first prototype. Still looks a bit bulky around the seat / airbox area. Also, the front pipe seems to sit quite low, looks like it could be a bit vulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thats a vast improvement from last year I quite like that now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Why a year to make some improvements and why has no one seen it running/tested in a trial? looks better but still very pre-10 shercoish. think the swinging arm hollow underneath is suspect.

pedronicman Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) I noticed the carbon fuel tank extends right down level with the bottom of the shock and the fuel pump is mounted on the bottom of the tank - but also the big banjo and hose on the underside of the pump is level with the sump plate without any protection at all! First rock that you would slide over would wipe out the fuel pump!! - good design!! It did have an Ohlin shock and titanium front pipe though!

atomant Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Now if they had shown that last year they would have gotten far more positive feedback! although now though, like Dabster says, it looks so dated like an old Sherco, but with a bit of bling maybe.

andy m Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 The new stuff doesn't interest me either but how is it the new generation and improved on last years product I have never seen one, were any tried or tested or will we be looking at Mk 3 next year still no wiser ?? Or have I missed something.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 And while we are asking the questions, why does it keep being launched at a Classic show? Most bikes have classic names, does this also make them eligable to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem strange,especially as some of those who bought an Anglian off the same bloke, from his previous venture found that they had to rebuild it before they could ride an event on it.
