Electric Ninja
« on: September 01, 2024, 08:46:23 AM »


So, im tossing around, maybe getting a little ninja 400 or something similar to play with on the track.  It's fast, it's fun, I can learn what I need to know on it, and practice new things, and when I fuck up, I wreck a 4 thousand dollar bike instead of a 40 thousand dollar bike.

I see this and am immediately interested.  But man, what a catfish this advertisement was.  12 hp, 40 mile range?  why bother.  It looks like a full size bike, so won't even fit in scooter world.  I didn't see any mention of how much it weighed either but may have missed that.

If you are going to come in with a new bike, and call it the Iconic Ninja, why insult us by putting a toy out?

Why put a toy out? Because it wasn't designed for someone like you. But to give their engineers something to practice the technology on and to make regulators and politicians around the world feel good that they are having an impact on improving the climate by convincing the established motorcycle companies to slowly edge toward zero-emission vehicles - one baby step at a time.   ;)

It'll do well in certain segments I think.

But yeah we're all waiting for something that can actually compete with Zero still.
