Damnit! That's crazy! I have a family member considering a new iMac, and I've told them already to just ignore the Core2Duo options, because the gains from the i5 are so great, but I had no idea the i7's would make such a large performance boost. . . #imaccorei7benchmarks
In case any one doesn't know how to avoid greasy fingerprints on touch screens here's what I do. Simply use your penis instead of your fingers. Viola!! All bets off if your watching porn.
@ripfire: Regenerative breaking requires a motor/generator to produce power. Since there is only one motor on the bike, and it is connected to the rear wheel, the only possible regenerative breaking is through the rear. Now if it were a 2-wheel drive, dual swing-arm bike, that would be amazing, smart, better, and very, very expensive.
The other option is to have two motors; one connected to each wheel. This would provide the greatest possible power, but no one has really figured out the transmission to make that work perfectly.
Everything about that sounds awesome. Too bad it's fugly.
A slight notch down in top speed from a 600cc bike, but I don't break 150mph on mine all too often. I'd really like to know the rear wheel horsepower or torque specs.

Why rear? Most of the braking is done on the front breaks.

well expect the torque curve to be flat, in any case.
