According to motorcycle daily, cagiva(under the mv Augusta umbrella) may be using the helicon engine in the Dakar-esque adventure bike, the elefant. Could be better looking, but a way cool idea. Probably never to be seen this side of the pond. |

I would like to be the first to request a prototype. I need something to bridge the gap between my streetbike and dirtbike. Sorry if it's a repost, it really just went up today on md. |

I saw that back when the mocos merged... Want to know what really burns my biscuit? Cagiva bought Husky... Husky had a sweet 4-500 cc motor... 6 months prior to HD getting ahold of MV & Cagiva, that motor was bought by BMW, where it has be come an 8999 dirt bike. I just cant justify the kind of abuse I do to a bike of that cost, hell I already have one of those Missed it by THAT much. And I am still miffed at the AMA, I have started forwarding all of my junk mail to their corporate office. Wheres my freakin soap box |
