OK so how does a person become a beta tester for one of these?

2003-06-23 Thread James Slayden

To be a beta tester, it will cost you $6,500 (ie, the price of the
bike) and at the end of the testing period they will take it back and you
will have to wait for a production bike.  At least that is what they told
me when I was going to apply.  I decided not to, but others may be more
interested.

 Last I had heard, the troops preferred, them over the standard motorbike,
 better low end response and torque, actually made them better in rough
 country, despite the face that the standard motorbike ( that it was being
 tested agenst ) had a slightly higher top speed on the flats and good
roads.
 A few civilians have been allowed to try them out under supervision, and
 they to had favorable impressions, enough so that they were predicting
that
 if they ever became available to the civilian market, that it would be a
 money maker.

I think you misunderstood them.  You get to keep the test bike, and when
they go into full production, you have the option of becoming a sales
rep.
