Here is an article about a fellow who is planning to ride around Egypt on his Energica SS9 while visiting 25 cities.  However, this doesn't sound like your usual YouTube "adventure", but more of a documentary, with a film and support crew. Sort of an Egyptian version of "The Long Way Around" riding on an Energica SS9 instead of a couple of BMW GSs :

With the recent Iron Butt attempt, this long ride, and the number of folks I’ve seen pick up SS9’s I kind of wonder why the Energica didn’t earn the runner up spot in Motorcycle.com’s 2019 electric bike of the year category. Given the delivery delays it seems like the LiveWire should have been punted to the 2020 category or at best an honorable mention.

I do agree with the SR/F winning it though. They actually delivered on their marketing.

I agree. It is kind of odd to proclaim a runner-up in a motorcycle category when the bike tested is just a pre-production model and none have been delivered to customers yet.  I guess that says something about H-D's influence on the press and their advertising budget.
