Everyone has their preferences, but for me, that bike looks terribly uncomfortable. Your weight would be so far forward, drive it for an hour, and your wrists and forearms would be killing. Also terrible for a passenger. I'm sure it would be a fun bike to ride for short distances, but I'll take a cruiser over that, any day.

However, I'll be interested to know what your riding experience is on that. I may be totally wrong, and it certainly is a lovely bike.

Also, is Izo on his period, or something?

Out of curiosity, why? The range on that thing is fucking atrocious. Neat concept, but it's practically useless. It's also heavy as shit for a sport bike.

You can't drive it for more than an hour anyways, not if you're going 100km/h.

Stop then, and get gas. Then ride it some more.

Why are you so hostile in the motorcycle threads? I don't mean to be rude, but you come off as a cunt.

However, that may be your intent, so to each, his or her own.

Gas does a lot of good with an electric bike. It takes 3.5 hours to charge on a normal house circuit.

And seriously, I don't see how my previous post was cunty or hostile at all. I asked a genuine question. That motorcycle is incredibly limited to the point of being useless. Yeah it's a neat concept, but I just don't see why anyone would buy one when you could buy a top end Ducati for the same price. Electric scooters? Okay. Electric cruiser/tourer? Less sense, but okay. Electric sport bike that weighs 550lbs+ and can only go 100km at 100km/h? Why? How is that a good concept or appealing in the slightest?

Yeah, didn't look as closely as I should have. You're still hostile.

Nah, you're just sensitive.

Actually, it's pretty quantifiable. You've made hostile posts of late in the motorcycle threads. Be happy. Or shut up. Or keep being hostile. Honestly, I don't give a shit, I just thought it worth while to point it out. No go, and do what you will with this information. Continuing to deny it is one option. Just being more pleasant is another.

Let me get this straight: a joke post making fun of trikes (in a thread in screenshots), and another one asking a genuine question about why someone is interested in an electric sport bike makes me a quantifiable hostile asshole? Because near as I can tell, that's the extent of it.

You need to unclench those butt cheeks, holmes.

Two posts in related threads stated in a completely bitch tone within a couple days of each other (or so, I don't actually know)? And the one asking a genuine question is an edited post that was far more hostile.

But, whatever. That's the last I'll address you on the matter. Post shit, then complain when people say you posted shit. It's all good, and we're on an internet forum, so it really doesn't matter at all. Feel free to think I'm a douche canoe.

And my clenched butt cheeks are a thing of beauty.
