This is the new TR280i Ossa 2012 model, due for UK release this September.
The updates include 40mm USD Marzocchi forks an Ohlins TTX shock and an ingenious triple clamp set up to maximize steering lock despite the thicker fork tubes.
The clever, backwards-facing cylinder stays, as does the tucked away radiator and straight-draught fuel infection and filter assembly. Weight is expected to be the same as this year's model at an incredible 67kgs.
The 2011 model has been selling at £5,499 inc vat and the 2012 model is expected to carry a slight premium. If you're interested in taking up the cheapest (and hardest) form of motorcycle sport call the UK importer, Nigel Birkett Motorcycles on 01229 716806
