Damon / Re: Forbes article from Bill Roberson on Damon
« on: December 01, 2020, 10:46:48 AM »Ok so the Brutus with the exposed Tesla battery modules is a hard no for me. Someone made a 30kWh bike but they shouldn't have.
Moving on.
llukas, I think we've seen these types of articles before. We know how they work and it is what it is.
Damon is not in production at this point and don't claim to be for about another year. The article just gives a little more info on the bikes and the company. The fact that Bill Roberson had at least rode the test mule bike with Copilot and Shift at least shows these aren't merely design goal ideas but working in the real world over a year ago.
The author used the Zero as a comparison maybe because he had not ridden an Energica. I don't know his back ground just passing alone some more info on Damon.
But one point about Copilot, it's part of an AI system not just a blind spot warning radar. Again just like Tesla they want to map bad intersections and crowded roads to add data to their cloud.
Journalism is different than PR as it puts things into proper context. PR is omitting right details at right time. Maybe it is better to discuss Damon in context rather just transmit their PR?
CoPilot features over Bosch:
+ fancy screen and cameras
+ spying
- adaptive cruise control
- not available until at least 2022

Is The article is not mentioning Energica at all and putting Zero as the main competitor? Also not discussing radar on Multistrada vs CoPilot. Shouldn't we expect more from journalists?

General Discussion / Re: California to ban ICE sales in 2035
« on: September 24, 2020, 09:21:53 AM »Can't see why the manufacturers would care overmuch. We saw what happened / happened not, when CA did their emissions controls on ICE motorbikes back in the day. Mostly the rest of the US yawned...and in LA we bought outside CA.
It is bit harder to justify investment in R&D on ICE engines. Comibned with Euro 5/6/7/infinity this at some point will make electric cheaper.

General Discussion / Re: Personalize Plates
« on: April 13, 2020, 11:34:46 AM »It's not like you established proof of anything ......
My dear, twas not I making false assertions.
The burden of proof is not upon me.
Please provide prof of your claim.
If you dear sir provided links that falsify incorrect information we'd cut the argument short instead prolonging it.

Energica / Re: CalMotor==anybody here going?
« on: January 20, 2020, 12:31:47 PM »I also attended Calmoto event and have different impressions about Energicas. I expected them to be heavy, based on what I read earlier, but it didn't feel this way at all. I'd even say it didn't feel heavier than 790 Adventure I use. I also sat on SR/F and didn't remember it feeling lighter - Energica has overall way better finish (I had deposit for SR/F but passed on it).Welcome to the forum! What time were you there?
SS9 has a comfy upright position.
