Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #527Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #526 They could have been electric bicycles with motorcycle performance, like the Surron. Some of these things can go 50 mph and a lot faster if you know how modify them. There is a fellow on one of the electric motorcycle forums that races his souped up Surron on racetracks against 600cc ICE race bikes.

Here is a short video by a fellow in Northern California that races his Sur Ron Light Bee. These things can go really fast if you throw enough money at them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfOi303vKZE&t=38s

Ya know, the MC world seems kinda dead of dead at the moment, relative to product offerings or development. HD's latest financial number didn't impress anyone, and BMW hasn't released US-only sales numbers in over a year. The Japanese brands and Triumph seem to be doing fine and moving more product.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #532 I agree. There seems to be a resurgence of the mid range UJM. Three factors, A2 compliant for the under 21s who can't get a full licence but want a non-125cc commuter, 21+ on a full licence but can't afford to insure a litre bike and older riders preferring a sub 200kg bike with a relaxed riding position to go to Box Hill on a Sunday. Royal Enfield seem to have a winner with the new Himalayan 450 and like Triumph are shifting loads of cafe racers to the misty eyed. Benelli seem to be popular, especially in Italy.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #533Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #532 I think it was MCN that had a comparison of the Kawasaki Eliminator, the Honda Rebel 500 and the RE Shotgun. Not my style, but something that short-legged riders may choose for a first ride. The Kawasaki faired well, but RE was a distant 3rd. It seems the mild cruiser style added over 20kg to the standard Interceptor version of the 650. I guess we won't see the new Himalayan until Fall.
