::)I've been riding motorcycles since 2004, starting with a 1996 600cc suzuki bandit, which was a good, but relatively heavy (in terms of weight) bike to start with. After a year or 2, switched to a 2003 sv1000s which I rode for about 10 years. But in recent years I only use my bike for commuting puposes, so I was looking for something a little less powerfull, more manoeuvrable. I actually had set my mind on a ktm 690 duke or a 796 hypermotard. While sifting the internet a stumbled upon an article on the 2013 brammo empulse r and it caught my immediat attention. Never cared much for electric bikes, but this thing was sexy as hell. So I went on looking for more info, reading bunches of articles, reviews and stumled upon this forum.
To make a long story short, after a test drive on a 2014 empulse, I immediately bought the demo bike which had a considerable discount.
Now after lurking this forum for some time, I decided it's time to show good manners and introduce myself.
So, here I am, a new member amongst the dying breed of brammo motorcycle owners.
