Title: Victory's Isle of Man TT Electric bike.
Post by: ultrarnr on May 19, 2016, 07:18:51 AM
Ride Apart has an article about Victory's new ride for the Isle of Man TT.

Only 170 HP and 177ft-lbs of torque!

We can only hope this will be at dealers next year!

You know what's exciting about this??????

I don't see a clutch lever or a shifter anywhere on that bike.

O______O

Woohoo!!!  Although Brammo didn't have a clutch or tranny on their race bikes before either.  Looking forward to seeing what Victory does with their next generation Empulse.

Let's just hope that they will have a "next generation" Empulse and that the racer is not just a fun project to make PR headlines for Victory.  ???
