a bimota for the masses?

Just my speed, but would have to get carbon handlebars and maybe some adjustable frontsets.

I’ve tried one of these bikes, and the transitional side to side handling felt a bit too stable….the bike wanted to stand upright. The longitudinal (front to rear), although very predictable, never felt good to me. Maybe needs a sag adjustment for my weight & height?

All in all, not a bad beginners bike….well priced and won’t cost much if you drop it.

I'd love to find something like that for my little girl. Probably the only motorcycle that my wife will let her near!

I think it is the 16" wheels that make it want to stand up!

I heard they tried to use a wooden engine. But they found it wooden go.

The left over wood which they bought in for these engines subsequently ended being used as the dashboard in the Mantra. Strange but true!

Bar none the worst slight about a Mantra I've ever read!
