They just had a full demo day of all of these things at the shop right next to me and I missed it. I'm definitely interested in picking one up. I use my bike 99% of the time for commuting to and from work and this thing would be perfect.

Looks strangely familiar, maybe it's the color?

Will surely become a strong product for Super-sport enthusiasts in a couple of years. Good thing is power can be limited for first time buyers using a "Phone" and not any proprietary tool. No more buying a plain vanilla motorcycle just because one wants less power and more mileage. Docile and super frugal on the street for commutes and all out power at the track - all on the same bike.

They are not far off becoming the best full stop. Give me the cash and I'm sold:

Meet The New Lightning LS-218 - Overdrive

If this article moves, I shall summarise:

as the name suggests, 218mph (350km/h)
200HP
227Nm (electric, available basically instantaneously)
225kg
$38K
Trouble for the overly enthusiastic

Yeah, they have one of these at a small dealership near me. I want to try one, I'd buy one if it were less than $10K with the range of the top model/trim.

I was actually excitedly looking into the Zero SR the other day until I saw the price again
