Title: Motorcyclistonline first ride review

I'm curious about the claim of 60 lb-ft of torque.  Did they simply misread the 63 Nm figure, or is this one of the things that might have changed with the switch to the new motor?

The Motorcyclist article is correct.  The Empulse R motor produces 60 lb-ft from 0 to 4500 rpm. The production bikes are even slightly improved (peak power, controller tuning) versus the marketing bike that Aaron rode.

That's great Brian!  It would be nice to see more accurate specs on the web site then.  Has anything else changed since they were posted (in April?)?
