Title: Curtiss V8 electric motorcycle

Not only do these people think outside the box, I think they sent their"box" to the recycle center already. 
For your consideration:

The problem with Curtiss is that they have always thought outside the box. But being outside the box is very expensive, looks weird and is not very practical. That is what happens when you are outside the box.   ;)

In this case they took the box, a monolith from Zero, and laid it down on it's side.

I would like to see the specs on that bike, espcally the range at 60 MPH. And the charge times, etc.

I think they have said before that they are using a couple of Zero motors.  From the battery capacity description, my guess is that they are also using an SR battery pack. So they might be fast, but I doubt that the Curtiss bikes will go any further than a Zero on a single charge.
