boboneleg Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I expect that to sell well if the price is right, the CP2 engine is a peach and Fantic have the name and the looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Beta used to make a similar bike using the Yamaha 660 single. That always looked better in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I did like the ones Derbi did a few years ago, the Mulhacen 659, using a Yamaha designed 660 single. They tried to make it look less classic scrambler and more modern dirt track, I once tried one out but ended up not buying, Maria was the prospective owner and she found the whole thing a little intimidating. It was a fun bike to ride around town, though. If it was for me alone I would probably ended up buying a XTZ660 Tenere with that same engine, even though it probably felt slower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
