The fuel can on the back is the only fuel tank. (Pump mounted in the MA can)
if you buy the kit and use a yz450fx motor you will have electrical output sufficient for lighting.

I share the same view regarding the use of the Yamaha motor in terms of ease of fitment. It just really limits kit buyer's powerplant options. If this thing performs as good as it looks, I would think it'd allow them to progress the chassis to accommodate other engine options. At any rate, this is a GREAT thing for the sport to see!

I ordered one as well and am going to use the YZ 450. Maybe turbo next year since the exhaust is at the rear

For you guys who ordered one. Please keep us updated on your experience with the company as well as of course reviews of the bike!
I am very interested in this thing and I cant wait to hear more about them.

Will you be bringing some of these out west this winter? I'm probably upgrading bikes for next year and would love to get a closer look.
So anyone got ride video's?

I see they raised the price. Now there $19k. Yet the owner has failed to reply to any question that have been asked.
I suppose calling them might give answers.
I’m wondering if they found out yamaha wouldn’t sell the motors separately and they are forced to buy complete bikes.

$19k!!?? Well that's too bad. I was hoping to see a turn key where I didn't have to buy/store all the dirt bike parts that never get used.

disappointing he came on here then never followed up? I would be interested at 15k, not sure on the jump to 19K.

It seems the kit price plus a new yz450 would be the same price. Might as well go that route and have a rolling chassis to sell or hold on to.

At 15k it is competitive with the price of a brand new dirt bike + track kit + accoutrements. At 19k it is now more expensive. So it had better be a LOT better of a ride to be worth the extra money.
Yep. 19 K. That’s a hard noI would much rather buy the chassis and find an engine to put in it myself. Good luck selling your $20,000 ruffian!( if you care what people who actually Snowbike 30-50 days a season think. If you don’t then you should try Facebook
That 129 freeride plus fit kit, intake, engine wrap, pegs, fork springs and valving. Is probably the closest you can get, but with an unchangeable geometry difference + 60-70 pound weight penalty.
I suppose the proof is in the pudding, if early adopters get the word out and they are all they are cracked up to be??????
They’re probably just pricing the turnkey so they can sell kits instead. ?
(Appears to be a small operation......)
If the guy isn’t able to monitor snowest hopefully that means he is just way too busy building and shipping kits and bikes to worry about it?
