    ^^I hear that bike has more torques than all other bikes ever made, combined.
    It's actually dangerous to keep it too low in the rev range because it's amazing torques will cause us to drift further into the sun, and may cause a black hole.
    I know that's true because a surfer told me.

    A small suzuki would be better offroad though.

    Sorry, as this is the hub I should probably explain that my post was in response to Yeehas, and in reference to a previous forumite who educated us all to the fact that the very best car you could ever buy EVER was a BMW estate, and the very best off-road car ever is a Suziki Jimni.

    If it was a touch lighter, and they took the stupid brace of the seattube on larger sizes, it would be a fooking nice bike, it just doesn't quite tick all the boxes to hit dream bike for me.

    That looks hideous, really. And what's so special about it?

    I concur, I don't get what the recent hype is about it, seen it mentioned on here quite a few times recently.

    If it's got 100% of the riding-goodness of the Hemlock (which is fantastic) and no more than 25% of the snapping in half (well OK that was less fantastic) , then that'll make it very very good. But still not a dream bike IMO, not exotic enough

    There was a Yeti SB66 reviewed in a US mag recently - does look a very nice bike - if I had such a thing it would probably be my dream bike. A Blur LTc maybe. But realistically so I wasnt scared to drop it an Enduro would probably do.

    Well here is mine.

    If we're talking any dream bike, then the Transition TR250:

    However it's £5,000, so not very realistic.

    If we're talking thread title, then a Specialized Enduro Evo:

    Uh oh, my dreams have become prosaic and well marketed... I really, really, really want a Camber Carbon 29er.
