Yeah, Richard! You never seem to let us down. The pics of all these fine rigs just keep coming!

Thanks.

,and im not a fan of Guzzi's
shame about the silly exhaust though. The front end is way OTT,i can appriciate very much the engineering

that has gone into it and im sure it works very well,but for me its too much,nice pics Dutch

Edit to add,maybe it would look better if the chair was as long as the bike,the front end looks to protrude too much.

“ALS” can be translated into English as Active Steering System.

Armec makes a very typical upside down front, like shown here on a Yamaha V-Max and a Triumph Rocket.

In the pics shown by 3Rad Peter you can see the latest wide Armec Stradale’s (recognizable by the A in the nose of the hack) with this typical Armec front upside down telescope.

Here a pic from the EGT 2009:

and one from the EGT 2008, which I both posted before.

3rad has a Mobec Easydrive for 5 years now afaik, with a lot of miles on it. He should be able to give some additional inside information.

@ 3rad. A pity they didn’t do anything with the bike, apart from some Wilbers upgrades. Black 15” rims and a simple LL would be the least.

Furthermore I think Mannfred Schmidt’s retail price of 22.900 Euro, which is 29.795 USD or over 33.000 AUD for a very simple bike like this with an even simpler Mobec Enduro, far beyond reality. He must be totally out of his mind.

Complet GAGA

The price is 6000 € too high, for me.
But some idiot buys it

Can we ease up on the images, I'm feeling intoxicated with the last three pages. No, on second thoughts I'll risk overdosing.

Totally agree with sentiments that question some sidecar pricing. Unreal and surely not good for business.

Dickie · 07-27-2010, 08:20 AM

Peter, I'll keep my eyes open for you on vacation.Where in France are you planning on visiting? I will also be in France (Alsace) from Saturday along with three other hacks.
