Interesting. Never heard of a BRD bike, but electric is definitely our future.

Was thinking the same, of course the Vitards here will put it down...it's new and unproven. Electric~ as it sounds lame in SX/MX is the future. Hell when I started I would have never thought the 4 Bangers would rule the gate as I was watching the CCR braaap across the Silverdome track in 86' but now look at them...it's all Doug Henry's fault LaughingWink

Looks like they couldn't make a go of it for recreational sales so now they are trying to sell them to the military? Or was this the plan from the beginning?

I can see how it could be easily confused with a fast moving donkey or a camel. Not a bunch of camels though as that would be a caravan.
