I believe that Pitster gets to oversee what their OEM does more so than most. I do think that their bikes might be a little high priced, but just by a little. If a Hawk was priced similarly, that would be too much. If I get the bike, I will definitely do a thread on it, and compare it to my TMEC 200, and/or Wolftrax's Hawk if he ends up coming this way.

I do hope to see you! Are you planning on a rear sprocket? I would think that even with a 17t countersprocket, the 56 is too much! My TMEC came with that setup as stock and I hated it. Even the 48 I ordered was a little too low.

Yes, I've already ordered a 17T counter and a 45T rear. Probably get a 16T a well. That will be a nice range to experiment with.

Probably cross the border for cold ones at the notorious Green Door bar in Algodones.

Snuck home a day early, had the bike delivered to my wife's place of business and the driver just plopped the container off right in front of the front door.
![]() Anyway I got it uncrated and got the front wheel on so I can roll it and get it loaded on my trailer for the ride home this weekend. Initial impressions: -virtually every fastener is finger tight, which is OK since I want to inspect all of them any way -the handlebars are garbage, they bend just looking at them ![]() -chain guard will more than likely be gone after a few mud baths ![]() -the bike is very compact and lightweight ![]() -big fuel tank ![]() -super simple design, should be a joy to work on -overall build quality acceptable -my certificate of origin has no info on it, what's that about ![]() Going to put it together stock, break in for 500 miles, then get after setting it up for travel. I'm very pleased and optimistic this may be the ticket for a South America ride and dump'

I like it just like that without all the plastic on it.

From the angles, looks pretty nice without the plastics

That guy in Peru might be a good candidate, and who might actually pay you?!
Or, anyone who needs some form of transportation and cannot afford it would make a good candidate. Where are you planning on ending up?

I'm glad you got the bike assembled, Mark. It looks good.

Thanks Spud, still lots to do, a lot like putting a model car together without instructions. Even if I had instructions I wouldn't look at them anyway

My origin of the vehicle came also blank, I contacted the seller and he told me a clear title was underway in my name. Please make sure to contact the company or agent that sold you this bike with your vin number and ask them for a title.

Mine was blank also. I contacted the seller. she told me they generally do not send them as the bikes are often just off-road. However, she was happy to take my vin number and order number and said they would send it out very soon.
