Hundreds of miles of trails,you can ride right into town, have a burger, ride to the next town, have a beer, stop for a swim on the way back to the cabin

The 250 chasis could use a little love.
Yeah, I'm not understanding the logic of these guys thinking there is some benefit to be had putting a YZ125 engine in a newer YZ250F chassis to get "slimmer and more modern". The YZ250F is fatter and funkier in every way compared to the YZ125.

They have a headquarters in Colorado already.

The importer has a couple bikes in the US. Not sure when his container is arriving with production bikes.

Has anyone tried getting the Fantic bodywork from Europe and fitting it to a YZ yet?

I think the Fantic E-MTBs have been in the US for a while now.

I'm pretty sure they backed / sponsored the GNCC E-MTB Races from a couple of seasons back.

Think it was mentioned that they use a tuned Athena cylinder, Arrow exhaust , and a different cdi.
