Default KTM 560 VLS ....

Have you guys in the states seen or riden a VLS quad yet... If not let me know and iLL post some pics and spec on my bike for you...Hand built in Holland ..560 KTM Single two stroke.. and a power band that wil pull your arms out... Have read a lot of articles on your site about guys spending a fortune in extracting extra horse power from small engines... wht dont you guys just get a grunter of and engine like the 560 KTM in the first place and save your money for something else... This thing eats Banshees, digests Raptors side ways,and spitts DS Bombardiers out of its **** ...46mm carb..Compression ratio of a jumbo jet , a piston like a dustbin lid!! and revs like a 125 what more could you ask for....

Post those pix as quick as you can. You can buy the W-tec Eraser here in the states with various engines. I think the most popular engine being the KTM 525 4 stroke. Have you seen a Maico 685 or Zabel 700 powered VLS or Eraser?? How are they? I have spoken to Maico about an engine and they are actually very affordable. Just wondering how they run. Also, any thoughts on the Gas Gas 300 or 450??

Let me know were you want the photos of my VLS posting and ill send them to you...As for the zabel engine its a bit much !!!A friend of mine put the 700cc engine into a motorcross side car outfit and had to take it out..as it was wild to say the least...I rode the bike my self and it really was a smoker !!! but on saying that if you want max horse power for your quad then that is the way to go...The zabel engine is most definately a blast from the past..do you remember the days when a 500cc motorcross bike was for men only 1980-85, in the uk a 1985 CR 500 barrel and piston is the ultimate upgrade for your 1990-2000 bike if your lucky enough to put your hands on one..not like todays 500s that are a lot more plasid and rider friendly!! Not sure about the Erasers though ( Ugly looking things if you ask me ) I recently raced against two of them at A National Beach race Enduro...

Have a look at the following web site : www.actionsport.co.uk and click on the weston super mare beach race link...if you look for the saturday photos and click on rider number 247 you will see several pictures of me on the VLS at the beach race...this will give you a good idea of how we do quad racing in the uk...there are some good shots of other riders too that are worth having a look at..

Let me know if your serious about the zabel engine as my buddy will probably be selling his 700cc motor...

As for the Gas Gas 300 , I do know that they are selling like hot cakes in the uk...
