honda is famous for their fit and finish. this is a prototype not finished product. prototypes are for testing and making adjustments so they may not mount things in such a way that would make it difficult to swap out and/or adjust. sometimes things are left uncovered to show components used and...

no one understands until they ride one. no distractions(noise, clutch, shifting, stalling, etc.). battery technology will improve and range will get longer, weight will come down and power will go up and if they standardize batteries you can swap out like bbq grill tanks in less than a minute...

I think the logic is that the batteries of electric bikes can catch fire and cause a hazardous condition where as everyone knows gasoline is not flammable!

THAT'S FUNNY!

I know it's the rules but it just seems silly to make an electric bike sound like a gas burner. someone should come up with a cooler sound. like a helicopter or the Jetsons car/shuttle whatever it is. someone won pikes peak with a car alarm blaring the whole time. I still like ner nee ner nee...

if it were me I would use a police siren. maybe even the European ner nee ner nee. how much fun would that be!

if both bikes are based on Ktm's wouldn't an alta lhrb set up work on a Varg? if you change the master cylinder you can have pedal and lever like I run on my alta (rekluse), or just the lever like alta released. never seen a Varg in real life so I'm just ASSuming.

you missed where it says chief comedic instigator under his name. he is a knowledgeable person who also injects humor into these threads....ie, he didn't really mean it.

A few years back I had light speed bikes in jersey city build me a 72v battery for my Sur Ron. I got talking with the owner and he builds all kinds of lithium batteries for aircraft and other uses. he said that rebuilding an alta battery shouldn't be too difficult. as far as I know he hasn't but...

as an after thought, ebikes are the only true motorcycles! i.c.e. bikes are actually enginecycles, that's what the "e" in i.c.e. stands for! electric motor vs. gas engine. the a.m.a must change their name or represent us.

as a long time Ama member I hate to say that it may be time to boycott that out of date thinking group and start our own e.m.a. all we need is an Elon musk type to champion us. if the a.m.a. will not move into the future with us perhaps they should become the past. ps. I really hope they take...

why would you publicly post where you hid an air tag on your bike!

possibly...dirtlegal will get your bike registered in Maine where they don't title dirt bikes. you can then use that registration which is a Maine title to change your title to New Jersey. was the dealer stumpys in Neptune city?

I used rekluse lhrb on my mx. it should work on a sm.

good, I was getting worried. thought you might have hurt yourself or got married.

WHY ARE YOU GETTING RID OF ALL YOUR TOYS?

so far Sur Rons are toys and should be looked at that way. unless you are 5,4 120 lbs you will never hammer trails like you can on an actual dirt bike. having said that they can be really fun toys and you can take them places Altas and vargs cannot go legally. I am sure that the aftermarket will...

and to think I always thought California was the cool state.

I would just lie and tell inspectors that it's the clutch lever and when street riding use both rear brakes. then again I am lazy.

I've always kinda just dropped the ball and hit it before it hit the table. ps too much vermouth although it should be made to taste and if you use bourbon it's not really a Manhattan. just sayin...ps no bitters in the recipe but a nice touch to mellow all that vermouth.
