Victory's Isle of Man TT Electric bike.
« on: May 19, 2016, 07:18:51 AM »

Ride Apart has an article about Victory's new ride for the Isle of Man TT.

http://rideapart.com/articles/victory-unveils-2016-isle-man-tt-electric-bike

Only 170 HP and 177ft-lbs of torque!

We can only hope this will be at dealers next year!

Woohoo!!!  Although Brammo didn't have a clutch or tranny on their race bikes before either.  Looking forward to seeing what Victory does with their next generation Empulse.

Let's just hope that they will have a "next generation" Empulse and that the racer is not just a fun project to make PR headlines for Victory.  ???
