have they gone into liquidation yet ?


( mean but true)

Made possible by the Japanese brand owning a 49.9% stake in the Rimini business

maybe not this week .

badge engineering .

how much is the kawasaki ?
 
But who can afford to throw one into the dirt regularly?

I have a Husky FE350, bought at 2 years old and had been crashed a fair bit by prevous owners - complete set of bodywork (everything, panels, fork guards, headlight surround the lot) cost under £200 with a bit of discount haggled, that's good quality OE stuff, not aftermarket shit - how much for one of these?

Any KTM owned brand will have easy parts supply, lots of 3rd party support, lots of knowledge out there etc.

Having said that this does look really nice, and would probably make a great trail bike, engine should be good (although KTM engines are pretty solid despite opinions of naysayers who have never owned one) and I would hope the other components are of decent quality....

...But we all know they will go bust, no parts will be available and it will be sat neglected and worthless in the back of your garage within a few years, like all Bimota's, I will buy one when I win the lottery.
 
Reading the article, its a Kawasaki with a paint job?

Is that right?
