Put some gears in that gumby.

enormous power +enormous torque= more glue on the stickiest rubbers! Also at 550 lb. max weight & 365 ft.-lb torque is it compulsory to have drive on one wheel only? When you remember the big front wheel on 1980 TRON light bikes the designers glanced at an obvious need ,now is our near future

What a soul less thing that "motorcycle" is.
If i wanted to listen to that caterwaul i would just go out into my garage and power up an angle grinder or an electric drill.
Now excuse me whilst i go fire up my v-twin suzuki to get this noise out of my head.

what cc are these bikes?

Torque Monster!!! It's a demon on the straights, but I't looses a little in the twisties. I'm guessing the engine compression braking of the gas bikes helps them slow and allow them to get back on the throttle quicker. This bike looks like it runs a little wide in the curves, is it a little heavier too? It's probably going to take a change in riding style to maximize the high end- I wonder what Rossi would do on it. I love where this is going!!! Next all electric racing- I hope!!

That thing sounds like a toaster... not a bike. The future is fucked up...

To the haters, I love a liter bike's sound just as much as the next guy (read: a lot), but if the noise is that non-negotiable, go get some damned headphones. This thing is vastly more efficient than any gasoline bike out there, and produces MASSIVE torque like no other. A diesel couldn't do what this thing does. Motor and controller tech is so very good and efficient that batteries only have a little way to go and they'll beat the hell out of any gas bike they see.
