    Yeah. They are spendy. It’s got 1 of the i3 batteries in it so definitely not light.

    It’s quick as you would expect an electric vehicle to be. Has severance l ride modes to help control it and they are similar to fossil fueled motorcycles in how they perform. I feel like imma slide off the seat the way it’s pitched.

    Even tho it weighs 600 pounds, it handles well at slow speeds. Not sure I could cone pattern it the way I can my Adventure (full). What’s amazing is getting on the freeway. Way better acceleration than a C-650 (gas scooter).

    I’d put it in the giggles like a schoolgirl category for ridding. Oh, it’ll do 80+.

    Reminds me of this hot bi chick who was hired as a receptionist at one of my old jobs. Came damn close to nailing it. Damn close. Dammit. Probably better it didn't happen.

    Idk. Sorta like the Honda Silver Wing. Not a scooter and not a motorcycle.

    Just as a matter of note. We have a customer who is a past Dakar Rallye participant who owns a C650 and rides the poo out of it. :)

    I bet the battery is on the bottom so it's gotta super low center of gravity. I commute on a V-Strom 650...it's top heavy as hell.

    The 0-60 time is 6.2 seconds (vstrom is 4)...(which doesn't seem to add up given the torque etc). That's probably fast for a scooter. I feel like the 60-99 mile range is a wash. Most scooters get around 100something mpg anyway, right? Will the extra expense of the electric pay off? I suppose the people who ride these get them for differant reasons.

    With all that said I appreciate the technology. It's only going to get better from here.

    What kind of Adventure bike do you have?

    Oooh, that's nice.

    Yeah, who cares as long as they ride and enjoy it.

    As for another example Ed March rides Honda C90's. He's ridden to Prudoe Bay Alaska during the winter, the TAT on it and then on to South America. He's ridden all over the world on C90's.
