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...

The CP2 engine (like any water-cooled engine) is not very good to look at , the air-cooled L twin is much better imo. Once they're out I'd love to have a test ride though ........ 2 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...
