Norbo, I thought exactly the same thing about the 100cc bike.
Because of the fact it will have a very limited market, there must be something else behind a business strategy.
Maybe obtaining certain patents to sell to the big manufacturers, or some weird race series rule?

If it was a 350 or 400 I can see them selling but its not even a 125 for that market

Hi Norbo, It says in the article that they are doing a 250 as well......... The firm claims that its 100cc engine is a V-twin with two counter-rotating crankshafts and electronic direct fuel injection. It’s linked to a six-speed transmission and the airbox is integral with the carbon monocoque frame. It also claims to be making a 250cc motor, but it’s not clear if it’s simply a bigger version of the same twin or a completely different design.

probably to appeal to the younger generation I should think if we were all 17 year old learners we would want 1, plus not going over that 100cc margin insurance shouldn't be too bad ..

They may be using 2 x 50cc scooter top ends which already have fuel injection. That would save a lot of time and money.

I just don't see the point of a 100cc some country's have a 250cc limit that's why we have so many 250's so that I can understand . id like to see what they will cost
