I am excited.

By the way, I was trying to find out a way to post this news up without breaching the request to keep quiet.  You beat me to it, 1less
(somewhat)Patiently waiting

I got my message from Craig this morning. I posted it in its entirety in the Brammo "News" section. It looks like we are going to have to wait a while longer. While I am not happy to wait, I agree with Brammo's decision to get it right and to use the best technology before placing the bike on the market and selling it to consumers.

I have already had enough bad experiences with my half-baked EMS GPR-S and anyone following the Zero story knows that waiting gets you a much better motorcycle and buying early gets you one that is out-dated the second that the next version is announced.

I asked the moderator to remove the message that I posted about the Empulse in the News section. I didn't read the message carefully and I should not have posted it until tomorrow. I am really sorry about my rush to spread the news.  :(

I didn't delete his message in this thread... just the thread in the news section.  

And yes, Gavin, I think it's okay to discuss it here.

I'll start: WTF! a flying motorcycle?!?!?!

I like the ev motorcycle that turns into a submarine....very james bond, but more environmentally conscience...and less VD.

Truthfully two parts got me excited (though both will likely break my heart :) )

one...testers....gah I would sooooo love to be a tester....I am a year round rider...in all weather...in 110 degree summer days and minus 5 degree winter mornings (admittedly we don't have many days over 100, nor many days below 10 degrees...but on those rare occasions it does happen, well I am out there)...I am also on the internet way too much and love to post impressions and numbers and facts. And I would be testing at 5 to 10 thousand feet above sea level...if that is important...not sure....and if Brammo would prefer not to have testing in minus weather or hella hot weather, well I'm fine taking a different ride on those days.

That said...I live 1000 miles from Brammo and they very well may not want their testers that far away (hard to get the bike back for routine checks and minor repairs and programming tune ups and such....so, ever so sadly, I doubt highly I would be selected....but a man can dream :)    ps...49 years old and zero accidents...one speeding ticket at 18 years old when driving cross country and I still believe the cop was just trying to make quota...in other words...safe, non crazy driver that puts 6 to 8 thousand miles a year on my bikes...and I mostly commute...so daily miles...but I do long distance rides often and would be happy to see just how any Brammo does in Town and on Highway and in City and out in Country. No issues with range anxiety...i plan all my trips very throughly.

there, done whoring myself out....

Second part that I found interesting that will break my heart...prototypes....no not the flying and submersible ones...I love to hear about and see the prototypes....the geek in me is hella excited...the realist in me (who has minimal say within my head and mostly sleeps curled in a fetal position in the corner) whispers that prototypes may be fun, but the likelihood of seeing and riding one is very small....and prototypes may sure a purpose, but they also could mean delays....more testing in Ashland means less riding in Albuquerque, so whispers the realist....

shut up realist, I want my submersible Brammo today!! Of course a submersible Brammo would have zero purpose in Albuquerque...but then that is just that bastard realist talking again....

Are you "the media"?

If my post mentions too much, please edit or just delete... Thanks
