It is slightly weird, and actually quite great, to have a motorcycle with a shifty that you CAN NOT STALL.

Sweet.

at a light, in 1st gear, clutch out...sitting silently and no vibrations...and light turns green and twist the throttle and go...

"Seeing that huge aluminum beam frame, plus the normal sportsbike-sized rubber, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Empulse can go around a corner. But holy shit was I surprised that's it's better at doing so than a Street Triple." - Wes Siler.

So awesome!!!!

Too bad Wes wasn't able to snag a few photos of the factory floor, so we could see how the production line is advancing.

Check out Wired Autopia later this week.

What ever happened to that Wired Autopia article that Wes inferred would answer questions about Empulse production?

I don't know. I looked for it today, did not find it.

Ted Dillard (regular @ elmoto.net) had a brief Q&A with Wes after the review. Ted is one of the elmoto posters that poo-poo'ed the Empulse for its transmission.

Not sure if you've noticed, but I'm a busy guy these days. Be patient.

OMG NOT another loud pipes discussion... see the comments on that article. Complete with your typical un-researched comment about battery life. My faith in humanity is waning.
