Lots of buzz Sunday about the new prototype for the Isle of Man TTXGP race. 

I'm a bit jaded these days, but this race, this company, this bike - WOW.

They sure have a lot of talent on the team. 

I think Brammo is having a lot of fun creating buzz on the internet.

Still a little worried about them given the history of the Atom and the EV Atom. And delay after delay for the Enertia. I was going to get one of the first bikes. But delay after delay and then a switch from all carbon fiber for the first bikes to just carbon fiber trim.

Here is an interesting quote from Bramscher about his choices with the Atom and EV Atom...

I hired Brian Wismann to design a V-12 supercar. Along the way, I also acquired the U.S. license to produce the Ariel Atom. Right about the time we were to go into production with the V-12, Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth came out. There we were, about to sell a vehicle that got 3 miles to the gallon.

We’d done some research into electric motors for the Atom, purely because we liked their torque characteristics. The more we looked at it, the more we liked the equivalent of hundreds of mpg, with very low emissions. But we realized that given the available batteries, a motorcycle made more sense than a car.
