I think they look pretty good. The 620 is supposed to be a real hot rod.

I love it! What size is it? Should have made a alloy frame like a Honda, but everything else is killer.

Love it in the same way I love the Husqvarna line. Dare to be different.

yeah the alloy frames look the part. but if the 2010 450 shootout winner can get away with steel frame, think maico can too.

A 685 with 82 horses?
The only downfall will be the almost assured 15 grand price tag, and that damn left side kicker.

Long live the 2 stroke!
The left side kick start isn't that hard to live with.

when your left knee already requires surgery from an ACL that's been torn multiple times, it would be unbearable, lol. if they put the kicker on the right side, or did like KTM and go to E-start, i'd probably get one.

I vote for e-start. KTM proved you can do it and still be light.
