I see that UBCO is mentioned in the link. They also have an EV 2X2 that is roughly based on the CT90 (Australian Posty). Very expensive, for me, but very nice. 30 mph is a bit slow for the city...40 mph would be better. https://ubco.com/products/2x2-adventure-bike

Damn, I missed it…must've been a prizewinning typo.

Yes, I could get behind this.

I'll hope they've not only boosted sales, but also quality of the products .

Fantic is sold here, but the Caballero -line has not received good reviews from a quality point of view. I've never ridden one myself, only seen at a shop floor.

As it was also priced way too high here, coming close to smallest Ducati scramblers and such, I won't expect to see many on the road.

The e-bike line looks good - but is also priced heftily here, I wonder if the quality is really on par with that.

It looks like a Honda CL350.

I doubt that was mere coincidence, either. Wouldn't be surprised if Honda's taking notice (re: Indian-market CB350 "reboot").
