Now having laid our peepers on the Empulse, we have to say we’re impressed with build quality, styling and the bike overall – that is to say impressed as much as is possible without having ridden it.

Probably they want to limit the first driving impressions to the magazines.

The problem with letting the monthly motorcycle magazines test the bike is that they like to take new models to the race track and then crash them. Brammo may not have enough Empulse R's right now for that kind of foolishness.

Considering they crash at the track with experienced racers on board, I can understand Brammo's reluctance ;)
