chopper Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Its been tried before with the Shupa brand. A lot will depend on the price and if they are proven to be any faster than the old Honda motors, which the Shupas werent. Chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Price is $4500 in Aust. Ok thanks for that, that seems a fair price to me as i can see by the photos it has all the good gear on them. Wheels alone will set you back around a thousand. Chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowasthatberntpersson Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I don't want to appear negative, however it will be the same old story; cashed up parents will buy the new bikes standard and then proceed to pour thousands of dollars to make them go quicker. Other parents will then have to follow suit so their kids can compete. There are hundreds of the old honda's floating around and I personally can't see too much change in the near future. Maybe a few kids that are fresh to the sport will get the new bikes, but I'm sure the honda's will continue to pick up major trophies. I personally think the engines should be absolutely stock standard, and use cheaper trials tyres rather than mitas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
