atomant Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) After seeing that for the first time, I have to say that bike looks outstanding - The power delivery looks incredibly balanced and powerful - It looks elegant and flows over the obstacles so the suspension is working well - it looks lightweight too and It has blown me away - Simply the best prototype bike I have ever seen and will easily be a threat to the other marques. Great Job Edited November 21, 2014 by atomant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neils on wheels Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 That's a fair bit to have determined from watching a five minute video atomant! Now think of all the videos you've seen of Doug riding over the past two decades & read this statement back to yourself. ?..

kramit Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 That's a fair bit to have determined from watching a five minute video atomant! Now think of all the videos you've seen of Doug riding over the past two decades & read this statement back to yourself. Boy.....my thoughts exactly !!! The video could have been filmed using any bike considering the talent of those 2 riders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.b Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I thought the bike looked and sounded great. I suppose the big question now is how much? Around £5500-£6000 would be a good start but if the rumours of £8000 are true, then it might be too much for a clubman bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Well, now we know the vertigo can run for more than 5 minutes and do what Dougie could have done 10 years ago on a Beta. Is the most of video (last 30 seconds excepted) fuzzy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Moret? surely he wont break much delf? Thats a finished bike not a prototype. Looks a great article tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhubuk Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Love to see a UK style promo vid... something like a rain lashed Butser Lime Works in November or December. I'm sure that would fire up the dreary British punters. 1988 World Round < 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercosi Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 reminded me of the beta promo video that jordi tares did around 87/88. got to hand it to doug its a proper nice looking bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Looks very nice and Dougie is certainly very confident about it. I'm must say.... that fi sounds very nice. Good luck to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Jeez what is the matter with you people ! If you can't see that bike looks impressive FOR A PROTOTYPE , then you must need a trip to specsavers ! Also, comments like "Well, now we know the vertigo can run for more than 5 minutes and do what Dougie could have done 10 years ago on a Beta." sometimes I wonder why these people who invest millions of their own wealth ( and lets face it, will never get it back), bother sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsp Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 now I like how the vertigo sounded, dont think I'll be rushing in till they have a least a year of production under there belt to iron out the niggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
