Cool looking machines! I like it....

Here is a translation of the web site you posted.

Fantic Motor Caballero presented the new 125, 250 and 300 with 2-stroke engine. The company enters Treviso, then, enduro "true" signed with Gas Gas engine, more powerful than the previous 4T used on its models. The three new enduro bike (only 125 will be present in the list also in progress motard) will be signed with the initials "Stable" indicates that the race ready versions, only the eighth of a liter is available as standard, with cheaper components. Stable versions mountain Marzocchi Shiver (45mm diameter by 50mm and the 125cc 250 and 300) and the Ohlins rear shock absorber with triple adjustment. Federico Fregnan, soul of the company, explained that "for the components we chose, where possible, to use Italian products. In addition, we built these new models of significant details such as a particular steering yoke from billet that is standard on the Scuderia and allows adjustment of the steering column, from -1.5 ° to 1.5 °. For all these new Caballero, perimeter frame made from chrome molybdenum steel trellis and Nissin brakes with dual-piston caliper front and single rear discs are Braking while floating "daisy" (260 mm front and 220 rear). The weight of the bike is 92 kg for the 125 cc and 101 to 250 and 300.

 

The price list includes Fantic Caballero in Q2: 6990 euro for the 125 standard, the 125 to 7,290 euro motard, 7450 euro, the 125 Scuderia, 8450 the 250 cc and it takes 8,750 to 300 cc, both in the Stable version. Fantic will not be at EICMA 2010 (the new models will still be displayed in some of the stand partner), but for those who want a closer look and also try the new range will be organized demo ride in dealerships throughout Italy.
Life is short.

First new Husaberg two strokes and now Fantic, things are looking up! I've always liked the 90's Fantic trials and the 125 ISDT bikes from the late 70's and early 80's were gorgeous.

I have followed Fantics for the last couple of years, The Zundapp 50 / 80 are Fantics that are modified with engine updates and BNG.



The Dollar to Euro exchange rate is going to hurt many Euro brands, Currently the Fantic 250 would be over 11,500 Dollars.

Sweet,the styling reminds me of the Beta from a couple years ago.

Where did these things come from. Its like all these little countries have a some dark corner with a cool 2-stroke in it, but you almost never hear or see anything about them racing or otherwise. You have to wonder why these companies are building 2-strokes.

We may be witnessing a trend.Typically the smaller companies will jump into a niche market first, a good example being the Husaberg and Husqvarna four strokes that preceeded the YZ400 four stroke.
