The 500cc twin thumper was in the April issue of Dirtwheels, you fool. They always have a far fetched photoshopped machine in there for April.

I ride with a kid who broke his wrist a while back. Conventional bars really did not make his wrists feel good. Theres a company called Fasst, they make bars that flex upon impact. There are different elastomers depending on which you prefer. The kid swears by them and love them, they do not hurt his wrists like the aluminum bars did. The price is steep at nearly $300.

I saw the new Kawi at Pro Caliber, seems like it may be worse for dune riding. Extremely hard and flat seat. The shocks were very stiff as well, more so than the YFZ. Awkward thottle much like the YFZ. Hopefully, the fuel injection works well on this bike.
