Sad to see this.

It will be weird to not see a factory Duc on the WSBK grid next year. Bummer. :P
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Mass-market build an electric moto like this and they might be on to something:

The gallery pix are worth a click.  Great looking bike  [thumbsup]  Not sure what the Texas Instruments tie-in is tho.

Yeppers, I saw this on a Speedy Moto email. Pretty neat. [thumbsup] Might be what we all are riding in 20 years. [moto]

yes but with 115 lbs +/- of torque immediately available it should feel more like a 400 lbs bike.  My only problem is it wont make a sound.

That's why you should start perfecting your motor boat noises now. I practice in the car and while walking the dog. Getting pretty good at sounding like a Yammyhammer cross plane! [moto] [laugh]

Maybe the production version will have an app that lets you download your favorite engine sounds.  Kind of like the Fart/App only different...

it might accelerate that way, but stoplight balancing won't be like a 400 lb bike, slowing down won't be like a 400 lb bike, and turning it won't be like a 400 lb bike

they are going to have to whittle that down some.

stoplight balancing?  WTF do I care, I have a pig of a bike called a Harley twice that weight.
