Well, I took the plunge and made my down payment for a Brammo Empulse R. Waiting on financing paperwork from my bank to finalize early next week.

I decided to get "White Noise"..... Can't wait to get it!

Congrats, Travis! Man...I am so excited for you to get your hands on one of these.

Me too.

Finally decided that my project had stagnated and that selling my eVFR and my SV650 would allow me to put a sizeable amount towards a new bike.... so that's exactly what I did.

Frodus, do you know which dealer you would be using? I didn't think there were any yet in the Northwest.

Well, my situation is a bit different. Brammo said they'd let me know if any engineering/marketing bikes came available. One came available last week and Brammo extended an offer to me, which I accepted. That's all I can divulge per our agreement.... and it sounds like it was a one-time thing.

I assume this means you can use Sport mode up to max RPM right away : )

Oh yeah! Completely forgot about that! This vehicle has ~500 miles on it.... but I'll probably be in economy for a while. Still somewhat of a beginner motorcyclist (less than 50 rides).

Cool...have fun and ride safe.

I would check with Brammo about the break in period...it still might be 600 miles as most "marketing"/ "test" bikes are refit with new parts when sold to customers.

I'll ask, good point.

That is great news, Frodus. So when are you going to tell the Elmoto crowd about your new bike? The last time you brought the subject up of buying a factory-built electric motorcycle, you could hear the groans.

The fact that you are getting a pre-production prototype is really cool.

I have stated suck in the "Today, I..." thread. Should I start a new thread? I was having issues with tapatalk on my phone so I couldn't post much.

Also, It's not a prototype, it's a production bike, just one of the earlier ones that they used for test/marketing.

Brian said I'll be OK to go into sport mode, although I'll likely go ahead and get used to the bike in economy mode.

frodus · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2013, 05:38:51 PM »

If all goes well, I should have mine by the end of the weekend.

I want to personally thank Brian, Ken, Adam, Adrian and Jake at Brammo and my loan officer Joshua at Numerica CU.
