    Change of Pace - KX125 Shreddage at Pala Raceway

    LOL! Those smokers and strokers can be fun too. The question is which bike will you take to the track tomorrow and the day after?

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    This is why Musk has built his own gigawatt factory.

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    I wonder if they still produce that Honda jet that they once build, just because they could...

    Oh, cool. This explains the price then.

    Best Alta Generator

    The reported 69 db is just as loud as any other inexpensive generator on the market. Not sure why they are charging a premium for it. They say it has 301 HP! :eek:

    Marc Fenigstein talks at the International Design Conference

    Haven't you replaced your Land Rover with a Model X yet? You'd be able to drive and watch YouTube, haha.

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    MXA said that the bike is based on the CFR450. But an American Honda guy in Tokyo said it is based on the CRF250. Nobody knows any specs, that's certain. My guess that, at best, the first bike that comes out will be a 250cc equivalent, and it might come out in very limited numbers 2-3 years...

    Lower CG for Better Handling

    The lowest battery module sticks out about 1" below the bottom of the aluminum part of the battery housing. The stuff below it is a desiccant pack and empty space. If you ask me, the lower battery cover could have been made much smaller.

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    Same powertrain as the CR Electric. This is telling me that the Honda bike that we saw was not an empty box mockup. This is very likely a real powertrain that actually works. The Asphalt & Rubber article New Mugen E.Rex Electric Dirt Bike Looks Very...Familiar is actually worth reading: "One...

    Lower CG for Better Handling

    Actually, a bike with a higher CG handles better than a bike with a lower CG. This is because the front wheel has a longer lever to initiate the turn and to lean the bike. A supermoto bike would outhandle any other bike on a tight asphalt course. However, for slippery surfaces, a bike with a...

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    That's what I was thinking too. In order to appease the IC crowd, they might decide to retain their iconic cosmetic twin pipes but will stuff them full of 18650s. :)

    Alta kit bike

    Sorry, dude, I didn't understand what you were trying to show right away. Honda CR Electric! Yes! Yes, it looks like a typical Honda. In fact, it looks like a CFR with a nice compact electric powertrain kit on it.

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    I am excited, but I won't hold my breath, or postpone my riding in anticipation for a Honda. I need to add a Yamaha electric MX concept from ~2014 to the list of Alta Alternatives. Five year later and we haven't heard back from them.

    Re-sealing the battery

    It's in a white baggie, most likely silica gel. @Mark911 says you can buy new ones at McMaster.com
