Hmm, can you imagine if Allert Jacobs got his hands on this one and did to it what he did to that Honda ?? I bet it would go 20-30 MPH faster and increase its range significantly.

Nice looking bike. I've never been a big fan of the naked look myself. But honestly $10,000-$14,000 isn't far off from a new gas powered bike. My ZX7R ran $9000 new.

it reminds me of a ducati monster 600. it looks cool, but 10-14k? come on, do you know how many years it would take to save enough gas money on a 3-5000 dollar motorcycle to even be close to being economical. i paid $4,000 for my bike brand new, and i can tell you i wont spend 6-10,000 dollars in fuel in 15-20 years. still, it looks cool though.
