Did ya's see the shithouse colouring job someone did on it, i mean, I've seen bad, but this was down right, shocking... I think a 2yr old would have done better with a box of crayons...thats my opinion, others may like it :faceoff:

I agree with freerider, judgeing by the text about engine being a 250 2 stroke and the frame being large enough for four stroke engines because of the phasing out of 2 stroke motors by 2006, it looks like they are aiming for a release date before 2006, so not that long at all, i think the bike looks awesome, congratulations to the designers for recieving the design award.

Looks like it came fresh out of the circus

[shirefmx]

would this bike perform as well in a 250 mx race as a 250 mxer does in freestyle? lol

i honestly don't think a purpose built fmx bike will take off yet ... just my opinion

[yamaha_freak]

i think the colours of it now are shit but the over all look of the bike looks ok but i dont get what the 2 sets of grab holes are for?

[Mungoman45]

Shits and giggles? lol

Maybe they thought someone may put them to use in some new trix this bike is suppose to allow the riders to do?.....

[Shifty]

Its ment to have better center of gravity and stuff. I dunno. lol

[yamaha_freak]

i think its just ****in weird thats just my opinion

[The Snitz]

i reckon it'd be pretty cool, it's a great idea

[yamaha_freak]

yeah its a good idea but its just the looks of it that make me think that its wierd

[pro-x]

i did that colouring.

[Mungoman45]

HAHA, I wouldn't be owning up to it, if i were you bro........

But i Do hope your joking..... Please tell my your joking.... :)

[hardkau]

i really don't like the idea of a purpose built fmx bike. just doesn't seem right

[yamaha_freak]

pro-x if you did that colouring it must have been good in someone mind coz it is in the new isssue of freerider

[NOLIMITS]

I can't see it taking off... What's the point..? If you purpose build an FMXer the only real difference you can make is to have free flowing cable linkages like on BMX bikes so you can do bar spins..

As for the colours... They should not let colour blind people do designing work...

Just think how much money this will be consuming as a project... Some people have way too much money...$$

can't wait till they bring it out!
