Well, no AX release at AIMExpo. Two Badwebbers that asked about it at the EBR booth got very different answers.

One said "Supposedly no AX for a few years. ...According to him there is just too much competition in the adventure bike field with not enough return to warrant a prototype at this time."

The other said "I asked about the AX and was told that their work for Hero had slowed things down. The guy said they were still in the prototype stage and to expect the AX some time next year."

Answer "B" goes with what I heard from a dealer I asked. Hopefully that's the correct info.
