thx for sharing the review. So the Brammo's weight seem to reduce the range and nimble handling somewhat. The bike looks the part and one would expect Ducati type performance at the price and looks.

Looking forward for more real rider experiences being shared.

New owners are starting to report on the Empulse R over at the Brammo Owners forum.  It seems like the primary irritation is that the bike has a lot of slack in the drive train (probably the result of the transmission design), which is causing a loud "thunking" noise and a jerk when taking off from a stop.  I am very happy that I chose the direct belt-drive Zero, instead of the Empulse.  I really hate slop in motorcycle drive trains.  The Zero has zero slop.
