Weight is a question for me as well... I was going to say that the wheelbase looked really long, then I looked at my 1098, and ya' know, it looks ALOT like a 1098 without the exhaust cans. Well Done.

@Thangka: No but you'll probably be able to get it at Costco for $25k.

You know, speed and efficiency are great, but it's more about how long the battery lasts for commuting and daily driving.

@Oniisan608: Well, actually motorcycle sales are a little different, there aren't many bikes that are thought of specifically as commuters (although you can commute on pretty much any kind of bike). A decent portion of motorcycle sales are to people who intend to keep them as "Toys" an never really do anything practical (like commuting on them) with them.

In fact pretty much all of the people who I have ever known that owned sport bikes only rode the bike when they were "going riding", of course they would stop places like bbqs or social events while out riding but that isn't really an "errand" or anything practical. The point is, that with most motorcycle owners it is more about enjoying riding the motorcycle, than it is fitting the motorcycle into any menial daily tasks.

Although I do aknowledge that there is another (not insignificant) portion of buyers that are looking for an electric commuter, but if that is what they are looking for, I don't know that they would be looking at this in the first place...
