Asphalt & Rubber have some very nice up close and personal pictures of the Empulse RR, along with an article about the bike.
Unlike the Brammo Empulse R that will debut Tuesday next week, the Empulse RR does not use the six-speed IET gearbox. Brammo’s Brian Wismann explained to A&R that the high-voltage system that the Empulse RR uses does benefit as much from the IET gearbox as the lower voltage street bike does, and thus hasn’t made it to the race bike…yet.
Eh? Perhaps they meant to say "... does
not benefit ..."
With these pictures taken just a couple hours before Steve Atlas had a highside crash at Sears Point, we imagine the 2012 Brammo Empulse RR doesn’t look as good as when we last saw it. Atlas took a pretty big hit, but is said to be ok (UPDATE: Atlas has six fractured vertebrae, and will be out for the weekend). The bike on the other hand…well, hopefully the Brammo crew can get it ready in time for this weekend’s two TTXGP races in wine country. More drool material after the jump.
Drool away at the pictures in the full article:
