Nope ;). Actually at first the orange ones were different and looked great, put enough mileage on that one, then decided time for replacement, the blue one was a frame replacement due to a cracked frame, (fire engine) rides that one now, if he still has it. Then I got a black one(chucky rides that one),,,,then a white one came up initially I liked the look, didn't last long AND THEN SC 2 so I thought it was obviously a sign that it was time for an upgrade :) I think that's the order,,, SC2 I had for a year and I am very embarrassed to say it had less than 3000km on it ,,,,

Love it, I've done long rides, I've done Thaba blue, Hakana, I'be now done a fair amount of Km's in a rocky mountain area called Shwaka outside Dubai.

 

Only limiting factor is my skills, bike is extremely capable.

Fact that the bike is the big taking point all over is a testimony of what you get, a very complete package.

 

And add some awesome fantastic after sales by Pyga via people like TheTrailhead and Sprocket and Jack and you can't go wrong

Web page went down this week. Failure to renew domain even though we got an email which said it would be done automatically. Should be back up as soon as they send an invoice...
