hope the fellows that write the music the company is dancing too are good
i hate it when dancers fall down

there history is how to survive ...by this i mean look at HD and Triumph

and the number of models that look like the past ...

i do not want mz's from the past just the concept there bikes were
built on basic transportation simple to use and fix

a good start would be a version of the current 125cc line in a 400cc
single at about 35 to 40 hp not a flame throwing race bike but a good
basic daily driver and if computer control of fuel and engine is used...
make it so anyone can look at it with a laptop so those of us 700 miles round trip
from a dealer can fix it when it breaks ....because after the death they died in the USA
they are going to have one hell of a fun time finding any one that wants a dealership

and of course a nice fire breathing 660 for all the hot shoes

maybe they will get there act together befor i trash out the 2 i have

i wish them good luck
ar dave

ps a seat frame with enough metal in it to support bags and luggage rack
for those of us that ride to work got a place to store something...
i drive a school bus and they started making me leave my helmet and jacket at the bike not allowed on bus any more so my rt125 gets a honking big buddy box next week
