Oh hell yes! New Ossa enduro bike!

[tony27]

Having ridden the trials version I reckon it won't be far off the mark

[TooFastTim]

The servo power valve is great feature.

Can you say WR200? RZ350YPVS? RZ500?

[firko]

Now that's a mod bike I'd love to own. There's a lot of good lateral thinking gone into the design,  I love the compactness of the engine and yep, the pipe placement's brilliant. I too would love to see it in metalic blue and orange as a homage to the Phantom.

Who owns OSSA these days? Are they a cashed up multi-national conglomerate or are they a boutique producer running on spirit and cool ideas but little money? With a cool product like this they deserve a shot at the market biggun's.

[tony27]

Independent company who must have a little bit of money as building a clean sheet trials bike while setting up the factory can't have been cheap or easy

[Slider29]

Love it!! I'm biased though, i just LOVE Ossa's. Goes back a long long way. And yeah Jezza I'm with you Phantom colors.   Mark

That thing is sex on wheels, who cares if it's any good!!!!!!!!

[Lozza]

Even a Bimota at the EIMCA show

Yes it has a servo driven power valve

Hey Lozza,
What brand of engine is in the Bimota?

Looks pretty trick, certainly no restriction on the case reed.

Is it rebadged Gas Gas ..... bet the price is thrilling. But Bimota has a long history of pretty good styling and using the best components. Plus they did produce 500 injected 2 stroke twin in the VDue so may know something about 2 strokes..... VDues were mostly converted back to carbs so maybe not that much.

[Lozza]

V Dues were let down by a lack of computing power, as with the premature Cannondale MX history has proved them well ahead of time. Retrofitted carb kits for the V due got them to only 120HP.

[EML]

Here comes a two-stroke revolution!! Now that they have everyones 4 stroke money-it's time to go 2stroke again .
BUT these 2es will have "much better combustion for less emissions" - ahh....which they already had!!
Talk about "smoke and mirrors"

[GMC]

I heard GMC got the job of building the prototype pipe!
Nice work Geoff.

They approached me to make a pipe but when they started to explain what they were building it sounded too much like some weird pain in the arse hybrid that vintage guys like to build so I fobbed them off.

Nothing special about the pipe

The fact that it fits I think makes it special.
Also the welds have that machine welded look about them.

Only if you got the stinger in the wrong place... 

[TooFastTim]

Is it rebadged Gas Gas .....

Nah, the Gasser motor has the ignition pick up at about 1-o-clock and the motor in the pic has it at about 10-o-clock. Also the gasser PV is driven from the right. The motor in the pic is driven on the left.

anyway Bimota know how to style a bike, as they should the 'TA' in Bimota is Massimo Tamburini who has arguably been the most infuential designer ever with Ducati 916 and MV Augusta F4 under his belt.
