and yea man, i guess we're special :o nah, whatever. i loved what they looked like. i only saw the CAD drawings but from what I saw I'm stoked on seeing some production bikes.
…as for the weight.
if you're riding one it feels like less weight. im serious. its a little hefty at first. takes a bit to comphensate for but once you do its just a stiff strong ride that pedals pretty descent for 8". you wouldnt feel the difference between a 13.5 pound frame/shock and a say…11 pound frame anyways. Besides. 90% of how a bike feels in terms of weight is how you set it up. It's obviously gonna be a tank with 03 Monsters (sorry mike :P) and a bunch of tank stuff. But coming from myself who rode it with 99 Monsters it wasnt that bad. You get used to it really quick.
besides there's always the chapparal for those of you dont want the weight. and those are killer. stiffer than a bullit stronger than a bullit and lighter than a bullit. IMO it would pedal better to.
already this is enough of a rant hahaha i noticed this looking for another one of my posts in the search thinger.
