One of many, however there have been ‘spy shots’ of a factory R12 Ninet with long travel suspension and 21” front wheel seemingly to take on the likes of Triumphs XC XE.
This is the bike I saw in MCN a few years ago when I was looking at / or had my Triumph Scram XE. I think at the time it was claimed that it would be a competitor to the XE. I thought it was great at the time as I like the boxer engines
