Well, technically, it is a MOTORcycle, but I prefer to ride my Enginecycle.
I like the sound and vibrations that it makes. It feels alive.

Plus I spent $10KUS and I can go 36mph faster, and have a much greater range.

Good call

It looks uncomfortable as hell, is way too expensive, and I'd hate to be on it in a heavy crosswind. Do not want.

I love engines myself. But I would love to feel the power of a electric motor. I would take it for a run. I wouldn't buy it. I can get a new bike and a boat for that $65000.

I agree that it is fugly however, it is electric. Setting aside the zero emissions and crappy range if I had 68k to spare I would buy it just for the low end torque. They are touting it as comparable to the Ducati 1098 and I am willing to bet it will eat anything else on the market for acceleration and take off speed since you get the electric motor benefit of torque being available as soon as you turn the key.

P.S. It is built on the same frame as the RC8 its the body work they completely screwed up.
