  1. Since it is an inevitability that electric motorcycles are coming to the mass market, whether we like it or not, this mob seem to be a new player on the block. Sceptical of their claims re: range, power output etc., but I am sure they won't be the first or the last to appear over the coming months/years.

  2. Coming to a showroom near us all soon.
     
  3. Picked up on them a few months ago, the blurb looks impressive as does the range. The innovative bit for me was effectively 2 bikes in 1 with the ergo/geo changes that can be done.

    As ever charging and the poor network is the sticking point in the UK.
     
  4. Please God, no!! Hate the idea of EV’s. I agree they’re coming but hopefully not as soon as our virtue signalling leaders hope.

  5. Ditto, I can see a flurry on ICE bikes in 2034 for the UK market...
     
  6. I think the time will come to pick your forever bike that you can run under "grandfather rights" on the UK road network, long after normally aspirated bikes cease to be produced. Not sure which that will be for me but maybe a 748SPS or 999R would be at the top of my list, since they are an easier platform to maintain than the current crop of V2/V4 models, when dealer support finally dries up. D16RR's are fetching silly money now so they are out of the equation.
     
  7. It’s the ‘over the air updates’ I don’t like the sound of. One day you’ll switch on your bike/car and it will no longer exceed speed limits. Anywhere….. :astonished:
     
  8. It won't even start if the police want to talk to you, or maybe the finance company/ insurance/ road tax thinks you've you're late with a payment even though you aren't...

  9. If the finance company want it back, it'll ride / drive itself back to the compound.

    If the police want to talk to you, then the next time you use biometrics to unlock the vehicle and get in, it will unavoidably reroute you to the local police station.

  10. And lock you inside. Lets hope the police don't ever become corrupt...
