WTF#2

It didn't look enough like a kitchen appliance before
So we'll put the paint job on it to seal the deal

I stole the image from his FB, seemed like the right thing to do.  ;D

All completely valid statements!  ;D

I'm seriously trying to figure out who they think their new customer is.

They’re already working on one. They partnered with Zero last year.

I really want an electric bike, but it needs to be cool, comfortable, go at least 120 miles, and 120 Mph (both not one or the other). I also need a battery that I can swap out in my garage. Someday...

Holy Shit! That lightning bike would get the job done.  :o and at only 39 - 47,000 $$$ I can probably have one some day! OK so I probably don't need an electric superbike. Aaaand I'm genuinely not-rich-enough to buy that, but it gives me hope for the near term future of getting a good electric commuter.

Doesn’t mention traction control/electronics, but with almost 170 foot pounds of torque, it seems it would be hard to manage on a track without something, other then a wrist, controlling wheel spin.

The rear sprocket is very stunt bike but beyond that it looks the part!

I don't know, it looks pretty sensible to me.  Do a load of whites and ride to work at the same time.

Stopped in today and got a look at 3 of them. Snapped some pics, but I can’t post them. It’s definitely different and they’re making only 20 more internal combustion engine bikes. Lectric from then on, so Matt told me.

I never thought it was possible to get *this* high and survive, but seems to be true.

Latest spunk from Curtiss:
