This looks good! I see myself buying a new Shineray. Really hope they do make the 125/144 as well, 2013 x-light would be awesome.
Naturally, they´ll only make them as long as the parts in the bin last. BMW didn´t want anything more to do with the 630. Nor did KTM. So it wasn´t apparently a market success. The 630 was one of the last restricted bikes that could be sold here in EU with the clear but tacit understanding that it would only work together with the after market p/u kit. So it´s still to be seen whether the German TÜV´ll take kindly to a new application to register the Shineray 630.
My 2008 te 250 still going strong after 300 hours. I've never had to adjust the valves, still has the stock chain and bearings except the linkage bearings. Just lately the starter switch has kapputted but it starts second kit no problem. Lots of mud and rock trail riding. Someone ought to go back to those mv augusta lumps. Bomb proof.
You can either archive the technology you own or license it out for income... And a few billion around the world need a good designed, low costing bike right now for everyday usage ... I'd want a cut from every bike sold ... -- If SP still owns the factories over there, he has a lot of options here ... ( And the weirdness continues )
I think I have seen a couple of these Shineray bikes here ... So that opens up the possibility of seeing one of these cloned Huskies here ... I'll have to keep a look out for a dealer ... And at the prices you mentioned above, I'd have a buy 1 and change the plastic out ... If it sucked too bad, it can be a customer bike for the slower riders here. These engines are yet to reappear ...They must have something up their sleeve for these guys.
No kidding. It looks like an after thought. Not surprising considering how fast they threw these together...
It's not an afterthought, it's the EU Street Homologation pipe. It come on all the KTM/Husaberg and now Husky 2T bikes in Europe. The Competition pipe is in the crate.
The pipe is an example of what HAS to be done, to keep 2ts on the road in many countries. Without rego, in most countries, you'll not be riding much. Pretty soon, to use something with anything but what it came with, will get you in deep, deep trouble - well, it could / can in most places, it's just that laws aren't enforced that heavily. When the orders come in to enforce them, riders will be hammered. It will be a pretty good way of boosting the income stream, and looking like things are being done about those "evil bastards that are destroying the environment ". Us. Well, that's how most idiots see us. It's yet another reason that new 'cleaner techs', are coming our way, if we are to keep having 2ts that work well, available to us.
Lookin good. Dang and I got rid of my old yellow/blue Dick Burleson Hp enduro jackets. It would of been a perfect match!
