They look quite good, I think the quoted weight of each model compared to the Honda CRF is quite similar. The Honda gets derided by enduro and trail riders for being heavy but it still sells by the ship load. Assuming these actually get to market they ought to sell well.

A lot of Somerset TRF are on CRFs so there is clearly a market.

They look nice/homogenous enough but, where's the V-twin engine?

Yes, same with TRF here and all over I think. Understandable given Honda quality etc. It's a no brainer for many. Well, my no-brainer moment has landed me a Yamaha WR250R. Very nice it is too.
I will still get on with the 250 Babycam project soon-ish, once the other 50 years worth of jobs are dealt with.

All you need now is an importer
