it's a beast!  More bike than I can handle...I do like the electronic goodies...

I hope they work and are ergonomic in practical daily use.

Now that they have gotten smart and made Mission Motorcycles a separate entity from Mission Motors I would love to see them enter a bike or two in next years Isle of Mann TT Zero!!! See how they do against the Motoczysz and Mugen boys.

I'd rather see them at eRR races and race against teams that actually do more than one race a year.

Another RideApart story about the Mission Motors 2014 production model plans:

Mission Motorcycles (based in San Francisco) didn't waste any time displaying their $59,000 + production RS race/steet bike and $30,000 + 2014 R production street motorcycle at Alice's Restaurant.  They were up there today showing off both bikes. Attached is a photo of the prototype "R" model, which will go on sale next year.
