a little bike. There's good feel at the lever, and
the system will teach riders how to feel what the
brakes are doing instead of just smashing on the
lever and hoping for the best.
This improved feel and the EVR slipper clutch
mean you can rip back through the gears and
not worry about the back end chattering away
underneath you, as you progressively ease off the
brakes in time for the next little straight. This truly
is a little racing bike, not a toy, and if used cor-
rectly, will make you far sharper at the art of road
racing than you could possibly imagine.
The price might be a little steep if you're think-
ing this is just a junior bike, but you're getting a
ready-to-race machine that takes next to no setting
up, is easy on the maintenance, and one that will
impart vital drops of knowledge you can use on a
big bike. Or you could just stay riding a GP-2!
Ohvale is absolutely cooking in the United States
right now under Brandon Cretu's leadership, and
the GP-2 now completes the picture of the two
GP-0 110 models (auto and four-speed manual),
the GP-0 160 and GP-0 190. These bikes are go-
ing to bring forth a new generation of talented road
racers, and now adults can comfortably get in on
the fun with the GP-2. CN
