Brammo's comment on this photo:

Chinese suppliers are here in force but haven't quite figured out how it all works....... they will.


I agree....

That's Greg Boeder with the KTM e-Freeride.  He's the designer/illustrator/artist behind anything you've seen from Brammo in the last 3-4 months.  e.g. - the Brammo Empulse TTX bike.

I still think that enclosed motorcycles are pointless...if you want a roof, buy a car...

Gavin

Is that the same bike that was posted about here last September?

Pretty cool looking vehicle.  Hard to see, though, through all the vapor.

Or does that one at EICMA have 3 wheels, or perhaps holes in the floor to hold up the bike when you're stopped?
???

Here is a link to an MCN article containing a video showing the KTM Freeride E being stunted in a somewhat urban environment:

Honda has shown its RC-E concept all-electric sport bike. It looks great and uses the proven Insight hybrid car's motor. But - Isn't it about time that the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers step up to the plate and make a production electric motorcycle instead of just a concept? See it here:

now is it weird that I want to see more of the bikes and less of the ladies?

of course I do have a minor crush on this young woman...if only I was 30 years younger or several million dollars richer :)
