For starters, CRP Racing revealed the Energica (pictured above). This beautiful machine, unveiled with help from Californian rider Shelina Moreda, is born of CRP's competitive efforts in both the TTXGP and FIM ePower International Championship racing series. Unlike those bikes, however, this one has moved on from the dual DC motor configuration to a single, reliable 100-kW (134-horsepower) AC motor.
With a top speed of 220 km/h (136 miles per hour) and a range of 150 km (93 miles), it seems likely this drivetrain could find its way onto the track next season, though it would have different bodywork and lose those sweet LED headlights. While we understand the Energica still has some development work ahead, it is now available for pre-order and could be yours for a not completely unreasonable €15,000 ($20,480 U.S. at today's rates).
20k is a lot...but impressive specs...
