Later today the TTX01 Electric Superbike will be showcased at a press conference for the 2008 NEC Bike Show. Capable of 125 mph (200 km/h), the TTX01 electric motor has Kevlar-reinforced armatures to withstand high revs and produces 125 NM torque at the sprocket, with a further 4:1 reduction to the rear wheel.

Here is a picture and more information...

Specs:
Using two Agni electric pancake motors powering the rear wheel, the TTX01 offers 86 horsepower and, more importantly, 170 lb-ft of torque. Soon, the machine should feature two-wheel drive via one motor for each wheel, a carbon fiber frame and vastly superior aerodynamics
Availability:
The crew plans to produce 50 copies of the machine for sale in 2010 at about 20K in UK money, about 30 grand in the US.
Good chance this one might be a collectors item. :-\ Probably a better investment than the US stock market at this point :D We should start a betting pool to see if Leno buys one.
