    Hi Ken,
    Any more news on the testing and any more pictures,
    Who looks after the bike on the test oil filters and other maintence items.
    Oh and did you run 1 liter of oil in the G box??
    Thanks

    leo...nothing to report just yet as they have the bike and are doing testing on their own now. i changed the oil after the first day...with a burned up clutch it needed it badly. i don't know how many times they will actually run the bike during this week and next so maintenance items are up to them to determine if they are necessary and to perform them.

    as soon as i get any information back from them i'll let you know.

    Any update? I know some of the other bikes were returned. Did the CRF's only bike make it back in one piece?

    yes. we got our bike back on thursday of last week. it looks pretty hammered. mechanically it's perfect but the graphics are toast. these were a one off that weren't very durable based on the technology used....so it was to be expected.

    still getting big thumbs up from our test rider. article will be in the NEXT issue of DR so we've been told.

    should be fun to see what they write.
