With Mission delaying (again), it seems like a Brammo Empulse RR could steal a few sales

Seems like 100% speculation. Nothing wrong with that, but nothing really pointing to concrete plans.

Still, something tells me that the RR-spec e-bikes are not that far around the corner…

I think it would take Brammo maybe a year to productize the RR for the street. And that's probably an aggressive schedule.

I don't doubt they've talked about it .. and probably laid out plans for what a production RR would take. They haven't announced anything specific, which either means they're keeping their cards close to their chest (perhaps understandable after the Empulse R schedule slip) or they can't meet price or performance targets without crippling other efforts.

Kingcharles posted on electricmotorcycleforum.com that Brammo will have a booth at Intermot.
