August News. Deliveries this month! (We hope)

[FreepZ]

So the word I heard was... In production now, deliveries next month...so right in time for somebody heading to Miller?  

This is the month where we should start to see some awesome reviews of the Empulse (going a little faster than 1 mph).

[Gavin]

Ha...I was afraid to drive it faster...Ms Moreda would, and could, kick my butt.

As for August...my guesses.

1) Empulse R deliveries start. At least 25 bikes are made. Less might be delivered.

2) 3 bikes at Miller. The TTX is added.

3) The Brammo Evangelista is named at Miller (and just look who happens to be going...)

4) More Dealerships are named.

5) James starts driving his Brammo Sprinter van around and gives out Demo Rides.

6) There is no six.


I am confused only by the Plus...I have no idea what is going on with that bike.

There was one delivery last month.

[FreepZ]

I thought that all the Law Enforcement bikes were Pluses too (or are they E-Classics?) If they are Pluses, then a whole batch were delivered recently.

[Deadly Silent Ninja]

I go away for a couple of weeks thinking I was going to find all of you gloating about your awesome Empulses and Pluses and nobody has been contacted yet?

Does anyone know if bikes were made available to journalists? They are pushing this whole thing way too close to winter to be a smart move...

[EmpulseRider]

I really think they want to get at least 25 into owners hands by this month, so they can race in e-Super Stock class with the Empulse TTX. But who really knows

I am confused about the Plus too... The LE ones are definitely the Enertia Plus, so they are cranking em out... Didnt someone here on the forums say that a German Brammo dealer mentioned they would be available for test rides this month?

3) The Brammo Evangelista is named at Miller (and just look who happens to be going...)

Who else is going

[protomech]

The HK LE bikes were supposed to be Pluses. Hopefully this is the case, and Brammo has gotten a lot of feedback and can fend off the type of early teething issues we've seen on the Zeros.

I haven't seen any journalist report of an Enertia Plus / Empulse, other than the early wired review.

Just you...

as for the bikes...I would love to see Brammo have 25 in owners hands...so would Brammo I bet...
but I don't see it as a necessity due to the rules.

from my blog:

http://brammoblog.com/2012/07/31/brammo-blog-bone-weary-but-home-at-last/




I was a bit surprised when I re-read the rules. I was wondering about the Empulse TTX. It seemed ready to go. Rider, bike and Team. Would it race sooner than we thought? So I went to the TTXGP site…

25 units available for sale. Not sold. Not on the road. Brammo can have 25 units in their showroom in Ashland and race at Miller.

Getting them into people's hands takes some time...having them in their factory is easier and then they ship them as they can.

Empulse production line...

I think they might get those 25 bikes done in time

Gavin

[EmpulseRider]

Ah ok... 25 available for sale. Dang, looks like I should read the rules I linked to my last blog post... lol.

Porsche developed the 917 as a road-racer in the 1970s. They were required to homologize the car (25 built) .. the FIA inspectors visited Porsche and only found a couple of assembled cars (and parts for the remainder). They had to punch out the remainder in a couple of weeks for a return visit.

Where did the "Empulse production line" picture come from!?  This should be posted on Brammo's Facebook page. One would think that providing evidence that the bike we have been waiting nearly two years for is actually being built in numbers, would be something worth while to share!!!  This wait has been torture 

THANKS to members of this forum who can provide goodies like this and keep feeding my obsesion 

[protomech]

Well.. it's a facebook image. Doesn't seem to be on Brammo's timeline yet.

Yes, I found it on facebook...

It is from James, the new Dealer rep that will be taking the Empulse around to dealerships for demo rides and such. Great guy.

I think I found it at the Brammo Facebook page, but it could be that it was because James and Brammo are linked...

Well, hey, at least we know there will be 5.
Someday.
Yawn.
I'll wake up when it's in my garage.
