there making custom bikes lets see if they can give us a 250 2 stroke pv motor who would buy one of these

Why limit it to 250cc? :cool:

after i read the articles about it, i sent them an email asking(begging & pleading) that the market needs a two stroke. i mentioned how a gasgas quad cant be found if you tried.

they won't survive if they try to market them like they say. and i doubt anyone will pony up the big bucks one is going to cost.

if it was a 350 pv motor and if it was around 7000-8000 race ready i would buy one

x2...it would be easier to get a japanese 450 and buy a few different aftermarket components at a time than spend an arm and a leg all at once.

plus the people who race at the level that requires a full on mx style machine have sponsorship obligations that would conflict with the parts on the highland.

I just read the article in the home page and see they're using the 70 Cannondale frames they aquired from ATK.....then switching over to a full STAINLESS STEEL frame ????

That'll be heavy as H*E*double hockey sticks!

I think they meant CHROMOLY

:devil:

The Highland Story is also tragic, 3 of the starters of the company were killed in a plane crash back in July. obviously slowed the release of the quads. I think they are trying to get the bikes out to the public then work on the quads. They're facility is located outside of Tulsa, Ok. I have relation there, if I make it down there, I want to go check out the facility...


....who says you couldn't buy one of their frames and modify to mount the 250r motor.... just saying.

a guy actually did it thats a member of this site. he did a cannondale frame with a trx250r motor and another with a cr250r motor. they were great threads from about a year ago.

yea, I think I remember reading about one of them... pretty cool.

cannondales handle more like an ex, so the only advantage would be to save a few pounds.
