What do you think of the 2008 Rocky Flatline DH/FRX bike? Here in Austria and Germany the MTB-forums are full of "experts" who have many facts on how the bike will work or not work with the new hydroformed tubing, how good/bad the new suspension works and so on...! Is there a similar discussion going on in Canada ('cause the first photos of the bike where shot at Whistler Mountain bike park)?
Would be interesting to get your opinion on that bike - keep it rollin' and take care!
Thomas Vanderham has been riding the new bike for several months now and it seems to be holding up quite well. I think Rocky learned some lessons after Simmons broke the RMXs by the dozen when it first came out. From what I have been told there are only a couple of the frames in the world, and they are being held relatively close right now. I tried to pull some strings to try it out, but to no avail. time will tell what that bike turns out like, but I like what I see so far.

there are many experts talk on the same discussions how exactly these bikes work; i have little passage on Ducati 848 what you can look at . . . Ducati 848 is a middle weight super-bike. It is an entry level bike. Its looks are very impressive and striking. The design of Ducati 848 is identical to Ducati 1098. It possesses almost all the virtues of 1098 but on a smaller level. Its maximum speed is 166 mile/h. It is priced at US $12,995. ABS is not available with this bike. It meets Euro 3 emission standards and also complies with US Federal Regulations. Moreover, motorcycle helmets should always be used for riding it.
It has liquid-cooled 850cc DOHC engine that unleashes the output of 134 HP@ 10000 RPM and produces the torque of 96 nm@ 8250 RPM. The bike lacks in Ducati Traction control system as given in other super-bikes. But joe rocket jackets should be worn by the rider
The great features of this bike speak for itself. Precisely designed; front air intakes add charm to bike’s appearance. Its beautifully designed sharp headlights look cool. Showa 43mm fully adjustable usd fork deliver great riding comfort to the bike. The dry weight is 168 kg and is available in Red, white, black colors. Same colored bell helmets look great.
