OMG that thing is a neck snapper.
•200 horsepower.
•168 foot-pounds of torque. (That’s not a typo. I double-triple-checked.)
•10,500 RPM “redline”—if that’s even relevant.
•218 MPH top speed, with high speed gearing and fairing.
•100 mile average range with the 12 kWh battery pack. Presumably worse in practice since no one who rides one will be able to keep their throttle hand in check.

Another 5 years and the F6B will be electric. Give it a range of 300-400 miles. We'll be lining up. :yes:

I like it, or I like what I have read so far. It isn't for me, but mostly just because I am too old for that stuff. I still watch in amazement when the youngsters pass me in I-45 north of Houston on a back wheel only. I don't envy them, but I am amazed. The rocket bikes are all pretty neat, and this E-Bike is a rocket for sure.

On the other hand.. The THIS (http://brutusmotorcycle.com/brutusV9.html#photos) might just interest me.

Not to far off with battery technology advancing at the current rate.By then I will need a 400 mile range for my Rascal wheel chair!

I am interested, but not a huge fan... now who ever figures out the battery life will be able to write their own check for ever !!!!!

I'm not associated with this company in any way, but I have had a little personal experience. They shattered all my pre conceived ideas on how I thought an electric motorcycle would look, and behave. Scary fast, well built with quality materials. A motorcycle in every way except propulsion. That was a big surprise to me. As others have stated battery technology as it is today holds back the production and popularity of all electric vehicles unfortunately.

The most interesting by-product of EV's, especially the motorcycle, is stealth ability. I can only imagine how low ambient noise levels on a city scape will be one day when EV's rule..
