    Nothing else to say

  • I just do NOT see the point in these things.

    Either buy a MTB or but a motorbike. One thing cannot be both things. It weighs 60lbs, so chances are the suspension will be pretty much useless as it looks to have standard MTB forks. The motor will be hot, it'll be noisy, and not a nice, tuned, enduro or even MX sort of noisy, like a high pitched whiney hairdryer sort of noisy. It'll cost MORE than a quality MTB, probably as much as a decent second hand motorbike.

    Oh, and it's ugly enough to make me want to scratch my own eyes out.

    It's also likely to get the shit kicked out of you for digging up the trails.

    You seem to be getting it confused with wasps, or Kerry Katona.

    Meh, these things are just a giggle. If I had a load of old bike bits, a smallish engine, and plenty of time, I'd probably bodge something like that up for a giggle as well.
