I haven't heard a peep for quite some time.   ???  To my eye, it didn't appear that the styling would sell to anyone but an art museum.   ;)

I guess you didn't look at the links, or the YouTube videos, which suggest that Johammer is rather active.

The reaction on this site regarding aesthetics has been consistently negative. Interestingly, I came across the design a couple of days ago on advrider on its ongoing thread about what bike one would like to own. Unlike here, it certainly wasn't trashed out of hand.

Dude, according to Brammo's website, they're practically still making bikes. Appart from Johammer's website and their youtube page, do you have any 3rd party accounts that suggest the bikes are more than just a design project?

Exactley, no forum interest, no facebook fan page. bike is butt ugly, and motorcyclist are conservative, if Zero and Brammo have tough time selling numbers, this thing sure wont.

And both those links are marketing.

I looked at the links, but I didn't see anything that I hadn't seen before.  Nice website, but I haven't heard of a single Johammer being distributed to dealers for sale to the public. It is an interesting design exercise, but without a retail distribution network, how do you sell them?

I met Johann Hammerschmid and met several owners, Dutch and Swiss mostly.  They aren't looking for mass sales, apparently, at the present.  It's more of a technology demonstrator, he said, and they would want to find partners to work with them, especially on a better suspension, if I recall correctly, and on wider production.  You can rent one if you want to go to Switzerland.  https://www.solarmarkt.ch/shop/java/crm/johammer  Apparently there are still some for sale, according the the gentleman who make the entry in my touring spreadsheet last month.
