    I love the way they play hip hop, or no sound at all, in these clips, because the sound of an electric bike is only the second worse sounding bike behind a 2stroke, I also hear KTM is going to making one.

    pffft, I fucking love the sound (and smell) of a two smoker, so I should be okay with an electric sound then Yeh KTM have been developing one, though it has been a bit quiet on that front for almost a year now...

    And you can choose your oil smell too, like aftershave, motul? or TTS, maybe spectro, all smell different, not all good though. BP super 2stroke not good. hack wheeze. (not that i use it)

    Haha doing a wind-up , trying to get a bite, having a bit of fun, got nothing better to do since some asshole stole my bike.
    2strokes and KTM owners are always on the defensive. so easy to wind-up

    Im so F**kin bored.

    Haha I ride the Buell everyday, want to get out on the dirt, on a side note the Buell has been known to be called a tractor, but just not the same.

    Apparently the zero has more pep and longer battery life, but the zero looks daft with it's ugly square battery panel. These things are the future but unfortunately they have no soul at all. Internal combustion is magic, almost like a living thing. I won't miss cleaning air filters though.

    You have to wonder what the Japanese manufacturers are up to as well. They must have their prototypes happening by now, but I guess why not let others do the major development then jump in when they figure the time's right?

    That KTM promo video gives me the impression they are spending more development time designing a stupid motor casing, airfins and all, to hide, and make difficult to modify, their technology than actual electronical performance breakthrus.
