I tend to shy away from the AWD thing. It's just more stuff to take apart...figuring out what makes it tick.

I wanted one but couldn't get my head around it being a Chinese bike, even though the 2T is a GasGas engine.

No it's a Chinese bike made by Asiawing. The LX450, which is a copy of a CRF450R that they put the AWD kit on. The 2T bikes use a GasGas motor and the 4T bikes go with a Honda CRF clone. It raises a whole host of moral, ethical, and character issues for me regarding Steve's business choices.

I'm missing something here or the ad is completely misleading...It states specifically Christini & links to the Christini website as well ???? What am I missing?

It is a Christini bike, you're missing nothing. He doesn't make them, Asiawing China does. He specs it and brands it and sells it with his AWD system attached.

Sure is, I think I can already guess what you're going to say. I just want to see if I can understand why.
