Hard Adventure? I think I have seen that before, but there weren't motorcycles.
Goofy brits, all ass backwards
Yesterday was the first time I have used the predominantly "duro" half of my Funduro for a significant amount of time. The 20/80 Shinkos did better than I could ever have expected, but apparently turning off-road with no side knobs is near impossible, so corners were taken at a grandmotherly speed.
Never actually ridden a proper dirt bike in the dirt, so it was all first-time feel, but I was able to keep my buddy on a 200 dual-sport out of my rear view on both dirt and pavement, so I guess I was doing something right...?

Sounds like that set up would be a hoot to steer with the rear on gravel.
I got into that once, but as we were in the middle of a pack of mountain bikers on the shittiest climbing turn of the route (pedal bikers take the hardpack outside line, so I cut to the steep loose inside) I decided not to shower everyone with gravel when it broke loose...
Brits?
<edit> the only real issue with this bike is how stupid you look riding it.

It doesn't need a lot of range as I am guessing after about 5 minutes of riding your neck would hurt so fucking much you'd call an Uber for a ride home.
No rear brake?View attachment 175078

No fenders?
No stand?
I thought it looked really cool until I saw how awkward the riding position was.
where do you put your ding dong? When riding that bike I mean, not just generally.
Belly slap to give it a tug on acceleration or tucky tucky out back to keep hard braking from debriding it?

I poked around and couldn't find anything other than a cad rendering on their social media. Guess it's just an 'investment opportunity' at this point. First one I've seen with a clutch.Introducing the Newest Electric Motorcycle: The Flux Primo - Racer X

Talking 80hp, that's nutty compared to gas bikes even.
I know it's dickwaving but that's also kind of useless on dirt outside wide open baja type stuff
there's a reason no one makes 500cc 2strokes anymore.
I would like it in a supermoto for sure. I'd be interested to try it in the dirt, is there really such a thing as too much power, really?
<edit> that's like twice the HP of my old 883 Sporty.
much like sex, that's so powerful I have a hard time figuring out where to put it, much less what to point it at
This is damn cute.

That is interesting. With batteries we can see a lot of hunting around for new power/weight ratios and designs. Good stuff, that looks like a fun bike.This is damn cute.
