• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

140 lb-ft of torque (Instant) and 110 horsepower, 485 lb.

Very impressive numbers. The styling it improved, but it is nowhere near the 'street presence' of some of its competitors. They should stick with the engineering and let the Italians do the styling.

I did comparisons:

VMax
145 hp, 83.1 lbf⋅ft 630 lb

Ducati Panigale V4
214hp, 91.1 lbf⋅ft ~420 lb

Ducati Diavel
162hp, 96 lbf⋅ft 516 lb
 
Thanks :clap::clap: ……… I'm thinking about THAT motor in an RT :bowdown::yes:...……….. Mike :ohyea:

Wow, I didn't realize that the first gen. vmax was this heavy. I have a 2nd gen and it is rated at 197 hp, 123 tq. 694 lbs wet.
 
Me thinks the electric bike mfrs are missing an entire customer base by not producing feet forward models. Cruisers have the lion's share of the market and I think there's an appetite out there for comfortable electric errand / commuter bagger cruisers. Watt say you?
 
Zero has been at the head of the pack with it's "Battery Bikes", and this new model will help to give them an even greater hold over this part of the industry! :2thumbs:
 
Range

As small as bikes are there is little space for longer range batteries. Sport bikes and scooters etc are the best for this stopping every 100 miles or so for a recharge will be less interesting to a toured or cruiser type....;)

My post suggested a "comfortable (for us more mature types) errand chaser, grocery getter, commute to work kinda bike - not a touring bike. Low seat height, feet forward, side cases for stuff and a 100 mile range will be the electric bike I'd buy.
CSC Motorcycles has an electric for only $2500 sometimes they toss in the shipping. But it too has that "humping a watermelon" riding position that my body can not abide.

An electric would be perfect for me. I usually go out at night after work and ride for about 1 or 2 hours and go home. So it's charging most of the time. I am sick of going to gas stations. My Ninja had to be filled up at around 130 to 145 miles. I am still a bit unsure with the Ryker.
