Probably not. It says on the article the engine is based on the hybrid honda insight. If im not mistaken that thing churns out around 80HP. On a positive note. It wont be unobtainable like the MotoCysz.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Looks good. It would make stealthy hooliganism a whole new pastime.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

So finally a hybrid motorcycle, i guess we can now see a 200 mpg sticker. I would so rock this if they put it in the 599 frame.
I live vicariously thru myself......

Triple J

Regardless of power source, that's a good looking motorcycle.  [thumbsup] They're claiming 600 supersport performance in a 250 chassis. Sweet!

I think it's electric, not hybrid. It just uses the electric motor of the Insight.

One could remove the fairing and make it into a stealth fighter.
