The "Tesla" of Motorcycles...$120K
 
How can one ask:

“Is this the Tesla of Motorcycles”

Yet also write this:

“Brace yourself for the price: $120,000. Production will be limited to 120 motorcycles”.

Journalistic bullshit !
 
the first to use a proprietary battery/radiator/backbone singularity

So Unitary construction not unlike a Vincent, so not the first.
 
I only used Vincent as the oldest one I could think of but with all the different developments going on there is bound to be an even earlier example.
 
All else aside, I would love some seat time on the drag strip or even more a road racing course.
That thing has to have monster acceleration...
Do todays rules allow electric bikes to compete against internal combustion engine bikes? I am assuming its separate categories?

Sadly, our world is filled with that sort of drivel.

"durable, long lasting, well designed, reasonably priced, economical, practical" are no longer considered positive attributes.

Indeed!

And in the article being discussed here, it was the Tesla comparison that got me.

Tesla (love ‘em or hate ‘em) have risen from nothing to be a real and strong challenge to the established global giants within the industry.

Do you think Honda is worried about 120 of these Liberace inspired POS …?!?

And I love how they say its ‘limited‘ to 120 units… I think it’s the market that’s the limit personally !

It remains to be seen what happens to the 100+ unsold pieces of shite.
