There is a guy on these forums who has a ti frame for his trx250r. His sponsor purchased it for him, and he wouldnt reveal how much it was. They are availible for the honda 250's, but they run from 9k on up without front clips, sub frames, or anything else for that matter.

 

The RUSSIANS aren't the only ones who can make titanium. We (USA) can make it better and cheaper...... I know....

 

How about unobtanium?

 

They are starting to use Titaniun coil spring(Up to 70% weight reduction), I read in Cycle World. Volkswagon fitted them to a $20,000 economy sedan, for Europe, so maybe the more manufacturers will start using them, too. It seems the motorcycle and quad industry would benefit the most from the weight savings.

 

Oh yeah we refine it and produce the final product, but 99.9% of the raw materials to produce titanium come from Russia the materials are found all over Asia, Russia just happens own the greatest land mass there...

 

if i could change my V its would be chain drivin and have 6 gears [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] everything else can stay after market products... they really should consider making a manual tranny v i think they could really coax some more speed out of it with gears..

 

The perfect V-Force would have the same styling and be the same size as the current V-Force, but would have a manual six speed transmission and chain drive. And it would have +2/+1 a-arms, and a +2 swing arm, along with KING racing shocks that have 16" of suspension travel. Might as well build the all time best desert racer while we're at it, so gearing would need to allow a top speed of about 100. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I would like the gas tank in the conventional place.
EFI
Lighter swing arm assembly(not nessessarily chain drive)
Improved shocks

I like the auto.




bigger.

 

Hmmm. Sounds an awful lot like a DS.

 

A 700 V-twin engine in a DS chassis, with V-Force plastic, would be pretty good if you ask me.
