Parts will be available as soon as they start blowing up and owners part them out.

This will be a street based motor, not an MXer. Something a lot like my 690SMC. Should be pretty reliable.

[Rambunctous]

I guess that means no parts available.

The darn factory should just have both wheel sets as a factory option

Rumor has it that it weighs about 350 lbs

[Paul_E_D]

That's a bit porkie. My SMC weighs under 300 ready to ride.

yeah, ~348lbs dry. wonder how much can be saved ditching the stock dually pipes (?)

I read 330 dry... which is still too heavy (or maybe that's just the TE, though I'm not sure why the SM would be 18lbs heavier than the TE). The TE610 is around 300 dry.

Another thing that's not so good: apparently the motor is based on the TE510 mill, not the 610 -- which means it'll probably be way more maintenance-intensive than the 610, which is known for being pretty reliable.

Personally, I'd gladly trade 5 or 10 hp for long-distance reliability.
