OHVALE GP-2 190 DAYTONA

A
touch over two years ago,
I rode the Ohvale GP-0 190.
The then new-to-America
little rocket left me both quantifiably
impressed with its potential, and
equally frustrated that I couldn't ride
it for more than five laps and that
my knees felt like they were going
to explode.
It's fair enough, too. The Ohvale
GP-0 is designed for children, not
grown men who still think they're
kids, despite the fact that some of
the world's fastest racers use these
bikes as their primary form of
training.
I simply didn't have the flexibility
to make good use of a GP-0, but
it didn't stop me wanting one—as it
turns out, I wasn't alone.
Ohvale thus listened to riders
whine around the world and went
back to the drawing board to design
this beautiful GP-2 190 Daytona. Us-
ing the same four-speed, 25 horse-
power, 190cc single-cylinder motor
found in the GP-0 190, the $6495
GP-2 is a little bigger everywhere in
the areas you need it, most notably
in the 12-inch wheels wrapped in
Pirelli Rosso Scooter SC tires that re-
place the 10-inch items on the GP-0.
The world spoke and Ohvale listened.
This is the new—and larger—Ohvale GP-2
190 Daytona. Your Christmas list just
got a lot more expensive
The world spoke and Ohvale listened.
