Well, Mason's bike blew all its engine oil out, but the situation is supposedly recoverable.
The factory team seem to be very honest about the what and why...
New engine and a time penalty.
got the balls to buy one anyone?

Re: got the balls to buy one anyone?
Two friends have now got their Koves run in and really like them. They are both experienced riders with enduro and euro rally experience so know their stuff. Neither thinks power is lacking (if you ride them right.) although a larger rear sprocket helps.
IMO bodes well for the future.

Mine has over 3k miles on it now,
I'm more convinced it's built well,
I've done all the oil changes and it's better (cleaner)than anything I've had before,
Time to make it mine,
Afr probe welded in place so I can read in real time what the fuelling is doing,
Just waiting on some parts to alter cat removal and straight through exhaust (with db reducer),+4 degrees flywheel adjustment race ECU,many things to try in the coming weeks,

Re: got the balls to buy one anyone?
Looked at one about a month ago, in dealer in Malton. I'm 5'8'' and would have needed steps to get my leg over.
But was a really nice bike, but to be honest its that China issue that I couldn't get out of my head.

Re: got the balls to buy one anyone?
I have a factory low model, I sat on the standard hight bike[im 5'11] and decided to wait for the bike I'd ordered [one of only 3 factory low bikes ever imported] ,
If its the place of manufacture that's your problem its a shame,
Mine has 4k miles on now,
I'm reluctant to big this bike up for fear of a fall [the same reasons as you i guess]
But,
What a bike.
Dave.
