There was a thread on here yesterday that had all of the info on the GPV-1.

We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new 1/8th scale motorcycle...the GPV1. After an intensive design program, testing, traveling its finally here. This bike has it all and its for everyone of any skill level. That was the hard part! Its not just for the racer and its not just for the novice. The RTR version starts you off with an ease of use commonly found in more toy grade hobby products but dont let that simplicity fool you. The chassis has an incredible range of adjustment for an RTR. Add to that an optional Race Chassis that expands the GPV1's capabilities even further and you have the ability to tune for any condition. Here is a list of standard features.

How big is a 1/8 motorcycle compared to a 1/10 ST or 1/18 ST. Would it be possible to jump it around 1 foot high.

I dont think you would want to jump this, its a street bike. If your looking for a bike to jump look for the Ricky Carmichael dirtbike made by Radio Shack. Its discontinued, but I see them on here in the classifieds, and on ebay. They are 1/5th scale and have decent suspension. Also there are a TON of threads on how to upgrade them, and even make them Nitro!

It was locked because the policy here is not to allow more than one new product release per month so the admin deleted the thread. Sorry for the confusion, all is well.
