That is just depressing. Next they'll be selling candles with a burnt stator aroma.

Yes, about as exciting as the movie Tron

If you experienced it you would understand the brutality of it.
I realize that does not replace the sounds and smells of explosive locomotion, but it's pretty easy to forget all that when you accelerate from 0-100kph in 3 seconds or less.

The E-superbike will probably be the fastest way around a track for two wheelers within a few years. I battery life, weight, and rules are the only thing stopping them.

I kinda liked watching the 4 hacks in this video because their skills probably more closely resemble the street sport enthusiast VS a professional racer. The Tesla like all high performance cars, are impressive right up until you factor in the price.

Right now it smells like Amsoil and premium unleaded.

Maybe I'll splurge for one of those $30 candles to celebrate my recent 120 Lb weight loss.

This one is slightly less expensive though it didn't give off that old-school smell I like so much.

Hate to disappoint you Jon, but i didn't see or hear the e bike going around, maybe the not hearing was the problem LOL
I think I was feeding my face and partaking of a few ales at the time, sorry

As said above its the weight thing at the moment 260kg i heard they weigh, their top speed is about 270km/h that's a very heavy bike considering a MotoGP bike weighs in at about 160kg thats some weight difference

Not sure if I'd watch a race or not, I like the sound, I can remember the first time we went to Sepang, we sat opposite the Ducati garage and they started up one of their bikes, the whole grandstand shook from the noise and vibrations, it was incredible
