Of course they aren't going to make a super bike that only does 62 mph (read the article people). That being said, the Kawasaki 250 Ninja doesn't do 180mph but it's a total blast to ride. The bottom line is that  this is somewhat like Tesla in that they are opening a new market for electric bikes. If you don't want one, don't buy one. At least it's another choice and the more choices available the better. <br><br>Don't forget how torquey electric motors can be. Imagine a short track with a light electric bike. It could be a real animal. right now the biggest hurdle will be weight. I guess we shall see. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MikeInNC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2007 8:51AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
