For comparison's sake, this is the image of the Empulse TTX that was released at last year's race at Laguna Seca:

Looks much closer to the RR than the R. Of course we didn't know what the R would look like at the time.

That's more like it!  Good to see actual bike shots, instead of the photo shop at the top of the thread. 

Of course it isn't really real until there is video of it flying around the track...

I like the way you think.  :D

Another photo tweeted by gavin:


So the #1 is on the TTX bike.  :-\

Ok...so Proto, as always, seems to be right about the bike...

It was, just last week, a full production Empulse. Brammo removed the turn signals, rear light and bracket and then changed the livery and put on slicks.

This bike:

A) got SO much attention at Seca in the Marketing Tent.

B) is just Beautiful. Seeing images doesn't do it justice.

Yeah, rub it in, Mr "I went to Seca and got to ride the new Empulse".

:P

Perhaps I will see it when it comes to Daytona! ;D

Do it...I highly recommend it. Lots of work, but great fun. And the people are so nice. Everyone will stop and talk with you.

At the end Adrian thanked me for all the work and told me he thought I would stay the whole time in the  Hospitallity tent...I was, "was that an option? Dang, I didn't know that." :)

But truthfully I wouldn't have it enjoy that nearly as much.

I told Adrian he should start Brammo's version of "Dude Ranch" where they sell trips to races where you "work" for Brammo
