Sad to see this.

It will be weird to not see a factory Duc on the WSBK grid next year. Bummer. Tongue

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

yes but with 115 lbs +/- of torque immediately available it should feel more like a 400 lbs bike.  My only problem is it wont make a sound.

That's why you should start perfecting your motor boat noises now. I practice in the car and while walking the dog. Getting pretty good at sounding like a Yammyhammer cross plane! [moto] laughingdp

Maybe the production version will have an app that lets you download your favorite engine sounds.  Kind of like the Fart/App only different...

it might accelerate that way, but stoplight balancing won't be like a 400 lb bike, slowing down won't be like a 400 lb bike, and turning it won't be like a 400 lb bike

they are going to have to whittle that down some.
