Now this is really cool.  And check out the clean conversion work.  I would buy one of these in a minute.  A huge advance over Zero's styling.

Sorry Richard, but I'm inline in front of you to buy it....

But it has a size 4

But it has a size 4

Not much of a battery, either, if its drivetrain is from an FX.

Unbelievably gorgeous, though! If this bike is Michelle Pfeiffer in a little black dress, Zero is Rosie O'Donnell in blue jeans and a ratty t-shirt.

Really? I think the Hypermotard with that beak is ugly as sin. I'm ridin' a motorcycle, not a parrot.

Plus it's got the signals integrated into the barkbusters, so you can't get rid of them, either.

Edit:
Guess my post didn't end up posting



Right after my size four comment I read the article more about that, maybe the post is on the other thread


It has a monolith battery or sure looks like it!!

While I too don't care much for the DS-style beak, the rest of the bike is so nice looking that I can overlook the beak.  In any case, I used to have a parrot as a pet, until it ate too many of my book bindings and curtains before I noticed what it was doing and passed away one day, laying on the bottom of its cage with its feet up in the air. Poor Charlie the conure.

That looks to be professional-level work on the conversion, and the styling is quite eye-catching indeed.
If the performance and range fit the intended use of the bike, then all-in-all it's quite a positive statement for electric motorcycles becoming more mainstream.
