I guess I can wait tho its only a few weeks more. O and are the option parts for it gonna be in stock when the bike is available Everytime I go on GP i notice the option parts avail. date matches the new expected arrival date for the bike itself.

Just a thought.
Also as of just now checking their site is down. Hmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Here are some shots Dez took on the track last weekend.

Status: offline 		Finally its great to see a well designed RC bike out there. I never did care much for venom's stuff mostly because of the helis but I'll deffinatly be getting this bike. My friends and I race 1/18 scale on-road with scale speeds and a scale size track with VERY close competition and we have been looking to do the same with motorcycles for a loooooong time (mostly because 80% of us all ride the real ones). So this bike should fit the bill and I hope we all get them soon. It will be really nice if these bikes are good enough to do what we do with the 1/18 scale on-roads here www.harnoishobby.com

Status: offline 		Unless you run your 1:18 cars on a 1:10 track, I think you'll find the Venom GPV-1 much too big. In fact, the smallest track we race our 1:5-scale bikes on is a 1:8-scale car track, but we usually run with the same program the 1:5-scale cars do. Bikes like to have a lot of room, as they don't turn like cars do. I ran the GPV-1 on a 1:10-touring car track in Camarillo, CA yesterday, and it was perfect. But once we start racing them, I expect we'll be needing a lot of turn marshalls.

Well we wont be driving it on our 1/18 scale track that one is way to small. We do have a very grippy 60 x 20 ft concrete patch to race on which is a bit small but I've driven the kyosho hang on racer 1/8 bike in the same size area with even less grip. The reason why we haven't raced them yet is we can't stand the designs of them. It looks like the rc manufactures who build the 1/8 scale ones have no idea how a real sport bike works. They usually have way to much rake on the front end and the entire front end rotates to steer which made the bike extremly slow at standing back up exiting corners on the throttle. Now venom has this one with adjustable rake, good steering linkage with a damper, and overall a good easy chassis to work on unlike the kyosho. Also the price tag and a very good stock radio make it hard not to buy.

Status: offline 		We expect the first batch of bikes to arrive the first week of November and then distribution from here to you and dealers will start, I dont have any dates and times for that part, that varies by distance and other factors.
Not much longer guys, sorry for the wait, its almost over!!
