[QUOTE="weimedog, post: 62220, member: 20655"] No bad experiences yet. Remember that Up until the fall of last year, the distributer for VOR here in the USA was TWS out of California. VOR and TWS went their different ways and now the distributer for VOR is ATK out of Salt Lake City. Different people. Different attitude. Parts and customer support are a focus for ATK. Part of what will happen is a transition of dealerships. The ATK dealers will have an incentive to move towards VOR and the old TWS dealer network will be incented to move away and towards TM, the bikes handled by TWS now. Its the natural order of changes in business. Not that thats a bad thing as those TM's look pretty nice as well. As those dealers change expect a million reasons why. But its all about the dealer-distributer relationships and trying to sell bikes. Vertimatti Bros. were the guys who first put together the concept bike that is now the VOR. VOR, the company; was the finances and manufacturing know how to take the proof of concept and build a production ready motorcycle. VOR also was the company/attitude to have the motorcycle design change based on customer and race team feed back. This is what they have done over the past three years. The VOR has been refined and modified based on feed back. A 2001 model VOR 503MX is an evolution of the origional 1999 Vertimatti 492. The actual differences between the two are fairly significant. Everything from frame geometry to the motor's power band have been revised based on customer and race team feed back. The Vertimatti Bros. have built yet another prototype machine. This is a completely different design. As far as I know, no manufacturing company has partnered with the Vertimatti Bros. to build the thing to a production level yet. As the Vertimatti 492 was before, this new machine has many inovations and is a show case of the Vertimatti Bros. view of the motocross/off road world. I think the fundemental difference between the origional Vertimatti Bros. and the VOR company is attitude. The Vertimatti folks are looking for acceptance for their view of how a motorcycle should be designed. The VOR folks are trying to build a motorcycle based on how their customers and race team feel a motorcycle should work. ------------------ 2001 VOR503 V-Cross 1982 husqvarna XC430 1974 Bultaco Frontera 360 6 Kids, Four Ride, 3 race.
