Could be sweet. Just a touch out of my price range though. :twocents:
I mean cool, but it cost more than a new snowmobile. I mean more than 2 new snowmobiles lol.
Love it, except for the fork gaiters and price tag
How much would the price drop if they got rid of the 24ct gold paint?
It's pretty sweet though. I would love to build a naked RS250.
As mentioned, please take off the gaiters...😎. Other than that, beautiful bike. Let's all hope he sells a ton of them and someone like KTM follows suit with something similar but more affordable :whoop: :whoop:
It's a boutique bike which means a premium price tag, unfortunately.
The Langen has passed emissions testing as is in production! Only 100 will be made and it sounds like 70 have been reserved already.
At £28K it's actually a pretty good deal for a limited edition hand-built bespoke bike, especially a unique two-stroke. £1K to reserve one
I was watching YouTube the other day and my feed sent me this video with Shakey Byrne. Pretty cool that it's officially hitting the market!

The Late Brake Show
This could be two stroke bike perfection - Shakey Byrne rides the new Langen 250 against his own classic Suzuki RGV250 in this new episode of Byrne Out. Not only that, he also gets to fire up and worship the MotoGP winning RGV500 of Kevin Schwantz. Rest assured there's a lot of smoke in this episode...

I think that video mostly just made me want Schwantz's bike:)
I am glad it is being built...but WAY too much money.
For less than a 1/3 the cost, I can have a RGV with a set of Jolly's or Sugaya pipes and a 300 kit, and have 75HP to the rear wheel.
I also wish KTM would build a street two stroke road bike...not dirt bike with lights.
They have the tech and building capacity.
Another Langen video. This time Vs. a TZR
