Lundgren's bike beta trials a Valenti built 50cc enduro (they are the Suzuki importers) try again lifting the TC250 she is a lite beast OK that is enough I hope you guys enjoy them, it was very amazing and as a fan just the best.
PS I always used to take all these photos of cars/planes and bikes and now I have files of machine photos with no context except for the machines. I have more photos in my photobucket with just the bikes but all those closeups of the TC250 can be had on the Husky web page and other OEM web sites,,,these were all much more fun with us in the shots.,,,,, man that Benelli seemed big but it looks small in the photos with my tank arse on it!!! the Husaberg FE450 and the TC250 remain my faves of the show. Hope you all get some laughs from these.
update the Aprilia was the RXV Enduro street legal in EU not the MXV, the new Aprilias are much better finished than before, they look really sano.
A rolling piece of Italian art,,,,note the Enduro model,,,,,,,street legal in EU.......an FFFing TM300EN zipping around traffic jams Brilliant
Robert those are awesome Any chance that you took some pics of the motard machines? It seems like everybody is making them now ( have been for awhile, not to be seen in the US…) Some eye candy for the street crowd, pretty please…
Capi's MotoGP Suz, Rossi's MotoGP Yam, Stoners Duc,got them,,,, we weighed heavy on off road stuff. SM not so much, seriuosly do the google you will finds lots of private photo albums with lots more bike photos,,,, also if you go to HM Moto or Valenti racing you can find the SM versions they build and displayed at the show http://www.hmmoto.it/ita/scheda.asp?idFam=3&idProd=91 http://www.valentiracing.com/index.htm (they need to update) http://www.yamaha-racing.it/
Yes, I was thinking you might have some nice angles of some Benelli or Beta motards, hell even a TM will do… But alas, I shall go the Google way
How the Factory team rolls in EU See background for the transporter,,,,foreground is the Endurocross track,, as you may have read, Meo won the event on the works TC250
don't be (even with kidding).......it was great as a fan,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but riding is much more fun !!! the highlight was getting on the HM mini enduro and making a fool of myself on the slippery haybale circuit !! PS this endurocross track was rough but really doable for most of us, (I would have loved to do a lap,yes only one) the big issue was the 3-4ft deep mud hole that stopped Lampkin, Botturi and some others,, most of the pros even rolled the double (like I would have) (the only double for me is double 18yo Jamieson) near the finish.
