bikespace Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Christ - I hope the trials bike looks a bit neater than the crosser. Looks like a Lego-Meccano joint effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuhrc Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 See this??? From www.motogp.com "The 250cc World Championship is set to welcome a new manufacturer in 2005, after the announcement that Italian trial and motocross firm Fantic Motor are set to enter their own road racer. The project will be overseen by experienced engineer Franco Moro, with 17 year old Italian rookie Gabriele Ferro confirmed as one of the riders and discussions underway with former 125cc World Champion Arnaud Vincent for the second seat. Moro, who has worked for Aprilia since 1992 with riders including Max Biaggi, Tetsuya Harada, Loris Capirossi and, most recently, Alex De Angelis, revealed that Fantic are planning to enter the 250cc series with two twin cylinder bikes constructed at the engineering department of CRP Technology.

jordi Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Will certainly be quick between sections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba baraccus Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Oh my god!!!! Nothing like starting on an easy project eh?? I wonder how much all that is costing them? Although I am very pleased to see this I am kinda wishing they had maybe started with dirt bikes and built up some sort of business before taking on the might of GP racing like KTM have done! Still good luck to them I hope it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba baraccus Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Yeah I guess your right! It certainly will get some headlines if it is a real performer!! Maybe if it all works out they will start to produce road bikes? I just hope they dont forget their roots cos Im done with road bikes/racing!

dabber Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Lordy! look at the front disc. One way of keeping it clear of rocks in sections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spokes Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 (edited) Maybe the new Fantic Trials bikes will have a bit of a extra feature sitting on top of the Fuel tank ???? http://www.fanticmotor.it/prod-caffe.htm Would be useful on a winter trial inbetween the sections !! Joking apart, my first bike was a 96 Fantic Section and I aint ridden anything since that even comes close in the Engine department !
