Brammo + MiniMoto SX = ??

FromAsphalt & Rubber:

Taking a break from finding ALL of the Easter Eggs in the A&R office, the Bothans did what they do best, and found the entry list to the AMA Mini Moto SX that’s going on next week in Las Vegas.
Sure enough in the paperwork was our favorite Ashland-based motorcycle company, which isn’t surprising since Brammo likes to go racing, but raises some eyebrows since you might recall the Mini Moto event is an off-road supercross-style race. Since a company doesn’t just decide to go racing on a whim, this surely must mean that Brammo has dirt bikes on the brain.
One of the hard parts of being a small motorcycle company is that it is incredibly hard to be profitable with one or two bikes. Ideally, a company would have a range of motorcycles that dip into each market segment in the industry.
No doubt Brammo is feeling this pressure as well, and we imagine the Oregonian company is eyeing the off-road market as a place where its electric platform can compete well (back in 2009 we saw first-hand Enertia’s with dirt bike wheels and mud paint jobs, so the off-road market isn’t a new concept for Brammo).

Yowsa!

Cool, I hope Brammo does well in the race and has a new, off-road model in the works for consumers.
