Energica announces the opening of their first dedicated store in the U.S.  It will be located at 53 Page Street in San Francisco. (That sounds a lot like the location of the original Dudley Perkins H-D store, where they were located for many years before being chased out of the San Francisco by high city-imposed employee costs and regulations.)  Definitely not a cheap location.  Good luck to Energica and I hope they can sell enough bikes to keep their business afloat in the U.S.

And hopefully they get something on the east coast. I would love to check one out but not going to fly across the country to do it.

Another article and this one mentions the ride that the company took on a naked Eva from LA to their new store in San Francisco.  No mention of why Energica felt the need to "de-tune" the Eva (like all of the IC motorcycle manufactures seem to do with their naked versions of their sportbike models) , when converting the Ego to a "naked" model.  The store at 53 Page Street will open in July and the Eva will sell for $34,000.

$34,000 for a 124 MPH 124 mile range street fighter is a hard sale.
$14000  for a 102 MPH 122 mile range Zero SR
I think at $20,000 they could pull some people in for the EGO for sure, I believe Venom about the Ego having a much better ride quality than the Zero but the Eva's stats don't impress me enough for that kind of money.
