If you remember Project M85 Freeride, you’ll see the same idea in this new concept bike from Derbi, the Derbi DH 2.0, a mountain bike sized motorcycle with a small engine and very light weight. It has fuel in frame like a Buell, an automatic transmission, a 100cc air cooled 4 stroke engine, underseat exhaust, inverted fork, air monoshock out back and a dry weight of 88 pounds! That’s a lot closer to mountain bike weight than motorcycle. The DH in the name refers to downhill mountain biking. (They explain even the brand name Derbi originates from DERived from BIcycle. I didn’t know that!) And if I read things correctly, the engine can even be quickly dismounted for a fast downhill with less weight.
This is a pretty high tech little machine which also shows the guys who built Project M85 Freeride might be on to something. Cool.

Been really fuckin busy trying to get this bike operational. Dyna ignition on its way along with some other odds and ends. I should have this thing wrapped up by the 19th. I don't want to post up any pics until complete and there's some noise comin from the pipes. In the meantime enjoy these bikes.........
