They call it a "Marketing Asset"...
We call it Christmas in October!
Our own Brammo Empulse R demo bike has just arrived.

Brammo...I would like a marketing asset too

Thanks...

Some say asset....some say royal pain in the .....

It is day one, Post Brammo. I am holding up well...just my forearms are a bit itchy, mouth a bit dry. I can do this....

Yesterday, when leaving work, I did look for my helmet and riding jacket. Not in the Pavilion. So I walked over to our other office in the Main Hospital...nothing there...I was a bit freaked out for a moment before I remembered I didn't ride in that day...I ALWAYS ride in...now I was in the pickup...

Sigh...I sold my little vespa clone and my big scooter is with my son in law...guess I have to get that back...

Gavin....itch itch...damn arms...

I'm itching already!

Anyone know of the first paid delivery of Empulse?

I've been wondering that too. It's been almost two weeks since customer bike production was stated. Even though some of that was during the thanksgiving holiday, I would still have though that they would have completed at least one truckload of bikes. Argh! The closer we get, the harder it is to wait.

at least 24 have been completed according to this ride report...

That's a very good review. Thanks for posting it.

I'm surprised that Brammo would let a reporter ride a production bike that is destined for a customer. Do all bikes get a 20 mile test run before shipping? Perhaps the bike that was ridden was a dealer/demo bike. If that is the case, then I wonder how many more demo bikes they are going to make before starting on customer bikes. I see the article was posted today (Nov 25), but I wonder when the test ride happened. If it happened a couple of weeks ago, then that would be before the customer bike production was supposed to start.

Oh well... nothing to do but wait a little longer at this point.

Assuming that article is less than a week old 24 bikes is a rather disappointing number - since when is the production line working already? He states explicitly that his #24 was factory-fresh, meaning that there werent a lot of higher numbers out there already.

I do think that is a rather poor, low number, I thought they are pushing out 3-5 bikes a day, and that seems rather like 1/day.

Maybe BrammoBrian might want to clear things up?
