2Moto Bikes-Sleds ???

[FurryCURT]

I looked at the 2MOTO sled bikes at the snowshow, but it never came to mind that you have to shift gears. My questions for anyone that has one or has ridden one are these : Can you easily shift with stiff boots ? Is it hard to transition from a snowmobile? Is the lack of fairing/ protection a factor on cold days? What conditions or situations have you encountered where a sled would have been preferred?

I dont see how shiftig with snow boarding boots can be that more challenging than shifting with motocross boots. I have never riden one but from racing motocross in the past they sure look like a blast.

I have one on my KTM 525. Take off your shifter and move it up one notch or so. Works great. I wear Klim Adreneline Boots they work realy well.

Oh and one more thing. It is a absolute blast to ride!

Those things look so cool!! Who will be the first to put a turbo on one of these things? There is a lot of potential here, in weight savings alone. I ride my dirt bike with heavy boots on all summer, just had to move the shift lever a little when I first got my bike, seems to work okay.

The Husaberg 650 is currently being fitted with an all new Aerodyne Turbo, and the RMZ 450 EFI will be boosted before it's even been fired up... it just needs to get here...

Shifting is just like on dirt- grab a gear and go-

BTW, if anyone want's to know how the 800 Snow Hawk doesn't against a 550 Husaberg RadiX, or against a YZF 450 RadiX, they've now been lined up at Crow's Nest in Canada, and in McCall. Let's just say it was not even fair for the SH...
It'll be even worse for them when we get to 65 horsepower. Or 80, or 100. Of course, it's hard to beat a horse that's dying it's own death

Maybe you should have Dirt Rider mail you another copy of that Oct. 2007 article you stared in Bret!

You know me, if something could get us more places than the Hawk, myself and forty+ other guys would jump ship in a heartbeat!

Can't spill all the beans yet... let's just say VP110, 10psi, and velcro on the bars-

Looks like fun! Waiting for the snow so we can attend a ride along in UT.

Glad to see you made it over here Blaser. Still hoping to get out to a demo ride some time this winter. I want to see how they jump.

 

[irydcat]

Seen some yesterday they look cool.

whos doing the EFI managment system?

The RMZ that Blaser referred to is coming stock this year with an EFI. Blaser, if you want to experiment with a YZF Turbo RadiX let me know, I'm just the guy for the job

 

[aadougie]

Please don't make one out of a KTM 950 Super Enduro.... or the new Aprilla 550 v-twin dirt bike... I can't affoad another hobby!

If you've got carbureted turbo tuning experience, let's talk. Otherwise, we'll see how the carbed 650 turns out, before we try another one. The EFI bikes will be a lot easier to tune...

Send me the RadiX kit and the turbo... I'll learn to tune it! I agree with you, on a bike I think tuning a carb for a turbo would be... well cumbersome to say the least.
