It's almost February. Is this thing ready to hit the stores yet??? A couple more months at I think it will be a year since it was first announced.

so, i'm waiting patiently

i know but its always backorder. its ok i already got one at amain.

it will be a year for sure
i´ll post it here when I receive the parts list
before easter for sure!

Does anybody know when this engine is going too be out, i am waiting too buy a engine and dont know if i want a orion or a ninja i am just tired of waiting

I think this is the new look for Ninja. There will be a R and a T version. T being the tuned version from Mario. The pic is of the Falcon...same as Ninja made by GRP.

And yes, the head is magnesium.

Is a Truggy engine with a Magnesium heatsink, look on the heatsink and you could read MR-01T (Truggy). The Heatsink is much bigger than the on-road version (and of course, come with the carb barrel on the other side...).

Yes, this is the offroad Falcon. Here's more. The onroad will be R and T versions.

There is also a Boss version.

Actually that is the off road Ninja you can tell by the shape of the head and the writing on it MR21 BO1 T i like the Black coated block



THIS IS THE FALCON R1T RALLY

The new onroad Ninja will be at the WinNats...both .12s and .21s

and the heatsink is more white, than gray.

heres some more pics of the Ninja

some more of the FALCON

Hum, so MAYBE this is why the .12 is taking so long?

The fact that the engine isn't coming out is getting pretty annoying, but it's their problem, not ours. If we need a new engine, we'll just buy something else.

If we're lucky, they are reengineering the entire Ninja engine line to address any issues that were uncovered during the past year. No sense putting out an engine that has problems or lack-luster performance - which was some of the early speculation as to why the .12 engine was not showing up in stores. Better to put out a good engine that has great performance and no issues than put out a bad engine and end any chances of recovering the cost of R&D and putting the engine on the market.

I sure hope they were smart enough to run the engine on NitroDyne System's Dyno to check the actually performance of the engine. If it can come out on top in the charts that are publicly published, it will certainly help sales.
