 :'( Boohoo!

Yet another drool enducing article that makes me all the more painfully aware that I won't be riding one of these babies for quite a while yet.

I'm really looking forwards to hearing about the race at Infineon! :D Is that race going to be broadcast some how? TV? Live streaming? Does anyone know how we can see it (without having to actually go there)? ???

From the MotoUSA article "the outer shell from a Triumph Daytona 675" ummm, no that cannot be correct. I think he is thinking of the Enertia race bike (Enertia TTR).

The new fairings look like they have been further refined from those we have seen on the RR in the past. I really like the new changes... not sure I would sport that color scheme but very well suited to this fine race bike. Nicely done Brammo!

BTW Brammo, I would gladly pay a fair premium for these fairings.

yeah, the new fairings are just about perfect...seemless, smooth, minimal....a real work of art...

now apply that same seemless, smooth and minimal fairing to the Plus and I will be hella happy...

eh, I like the plus plenty as is. though I wouldn't mind seeing how brammo would fairing it up a bit.

but that new empulse is very very nice...sadly i just dislike sports bike styling and ride.

good job brammo...very well done and classic look.

When I saw that "outer shell" comment, I thought that referred to the front fork tubes, not the body fairing. I got the impression that they were using the Triumph fork tubes with Traxxon damping and spring internal parts.

Yup, my bad. Considering the context, that is likely what he was referring to...

Or, because they make it difficult to embed their videos in forums, here's the video:
