    Looks like a KTM inspired frame and suspension and a big tank. Unique and cool look (the black one) Good stuff! I really would like to try one. Much more inspired than I was.

    Good to see this - looks like an Italian Husky/KTM mongrel
    Red frame looks wrong - if it was black it would look better
    Frame under engine looks a bit weak
    Silver ? a bit Star Wars for me

    Looks like they fixed the exposed oil line issue

    Yeh I'm not talking bout the size or style of pipe(akro n looks good) just how far off the rear it hangs-too far it looks like n mounts half way down pipe. Snap town I reckon!

    I heard there is no button on the 340 ? that's a big mistake
    Maybe that was just the MX version

    Keihen injection system ?

    Does anyone else think the pipe is mounted too far to the back of the bike? Looks 100mm too far back to me. Akro for fmf ya reckon?

    frame, its quite possible that KTM (WP) makes it along with that signature swingarm, all the EU companies subcontract among manufacturers, controls-Magura, Domino etc, Suspension Sachs Ohlins etc.
    This is EICMA, the production race version machines may well be different looking (color wise), those are the enduros (99%street use) that most folks never take offroad that buzz all over around there and are the big sellers for profit. Its a good thing they are doing, no need to reinvent the wheel , just build on what's already there (engineering wise) and find cost effective ways to produce a new line of motos.

    SWM is looking real good. Check out the SUPERDUAL, it has a center stand and a 5 gallon tank. Awesome! 5645bc54ac6957_404852323.jpg

    I would think so

    Nothing looks scabbier than black plastics on an off road bike

    I ride with 2 guys on '01 and '02 VOR's and after all these years they don't look too bad.

    Black gets trashed after the first good offroad ride. My buddy switched all his 350EXC plastics including a 4 gal Acerbis tank to black and regrets it. What really surprised me was how easy it was to maintain the color of a white bike.

    Could you just tell me , which current 2 stroke is not restricted to death just to get road reg?

    Not that many i guess... it s just the biggest problem right now- i m waiting for the FI 2strokes to meet the Euro4.
