Yamaha Concept Electric Motorcycle - CB4ME_imp - 04-22-2014
233 lbs. Yamaha isn't saying its range (30 miles?). But they sure got the styling right.

It reminds me of two bikes: the Brammo Empulse E-Bike and the prototype Suzuki Recursion turbocharged gas bike.
I was on the waiting list for the Empulse for two years based on the preproduction price they published of $10k. But when it finally hit the dealers it was more like $18k! I was thinking it would be a fun second bike, but not at that price.

So the range is 30 miles maybe?
It's called a PESI
If Red Mist bought one (as if!) it'd be, with that range and that name, re-dubbed....
.....wait for it .....
THE PESI-MIST!
I'll get me coat..

any problem with the shock being on the very bottom to pick up all the road grime?

Tortuga will be appearing here all week folks. Tell your friends!
Is that a carrying handle at the top of the bike?
By the way; when did motorcycle manufacturers decide it's ok to use urine sample cups for master cylinder reservoirs? Every time I see one of those things I can't help thinking how cheezy and cheap they look. Ducati puts them on $20k Pinagles for chrissakes!

+1 on the urine samples. Some of us might think it's cool though...
Pee cup on a Beemer. Looks "racing" and cheap...
