"Electric Motorcycles: As Fast and Furious as Gas-Powered Bikes?"

i thought I'd enjoy reading an article that wasn't clipped from the sales brochure, but I think they'd need to incorporate some of the manufacturer supplied information.

Interesting. I thought that Polaris buying Brammo would have boosted them, but so far it doesnt seem to be the case...

Why ?  They have a great network of niche motorbike dealers & shop, does not seem crazy...

So, he says of the SR "you can control it without having to look down at gauges and handlebars". What the hell does that mean? He follows that by saying that it feels more like a bicycle than a motorcycle. That is one of the stupidest things that I have ever heard. He is clueless and I wonder if he has even ridden a Zero.
