Now this is really cool. And check out the clean conversion work. I would buy one of these in a minute. A huge advance over Zero's styling. :D

Sorry Richard, but I'm inline in front of you to buy it.... :)

Not much of a battery, either, if its drivetrain is from an FX.
Unbelievably gorgeous, though! If this bike is Michelle Pfeiffer in a little black dress, Zero is Rosie O'Donnell in blue jeans and a ratty t-shirt.

Really? I think the Hypermotard with that beak is ugly as sin. I'm ridin' a motorcycle, not a parrot.
Plus it's got the signals integrated into the barkbusters, so you can't get rid of them, either.

Edit:
Guess my post didn't end up posting
Right after my size four comment I read the article more about that, maybe the post is on the other thread
It has a monolith battery or sure looks like it!!

While I too don't care much for the DS-style beak, the rest of the bike is so nice looking that I can overlook the beak. In any case, I used to have a parrot as a pet, until it ate too many of my book bindings and curtains before I noticed what it was doing and passed away one day, laying on the bottom of its cage with its feet up in the air. Poor Charlie the conure. :(

That looks to be professional-level work on the conversion, and the styling is quite eye-catching indeed.
If the performance and range fit the intended use of the bike, then all-in-all it's quite a positive statement for electric motorcycles becoming more mainstream.
