Asphalt and Rubber speculates that the price for the Empulse is going be about $20,000.

We'll find out in a few days...

Well, I can guess at this point that I wont be in the market for the Empulse R. My hopes are pinned on the regular Empulse being within a price range I can afford... otherwise I am currently bikeless as my GSXR 750 sold the other day as part of my Empulse purchase plans. Did I jump the gun, well maybe, but I know this is the time of year to sell and I got what I wanted for it.
I really hope Brammo comes through this Tuesday... I need a motorcycle :-\

I could certainly see how Brammo could offer two models with different price points. What I can't see is the more expensive one not having a fairing. For $20k I would want the RR without the racing bits. I mean for $18k I could buy a Ducati 1199 Panigale.

I have been lusting over the Panigale, that bike is seriously sexy... for me though, even a 20k Empulse would be less expensive with the 6k CO tax rebate. I know I have less room to complain but shit, $20k for a motorcycle... I could afford it, but how would I explain that to my wife? Yikes...

I think our Oregon tax incentives went away at the end of last year. The possible jump from $14 to $20 is really a $7500 jump from what it would have been last year.
BTW, there was a bicycle survey that I read once about "How do you choose the best bicycle". My favorite response was, "start with a cheap bicycle and move up until the wife gives you the look. ;D
