141 hp, 115 ft-lb (0 to 6400RPM), single gear, ohlins, brembo...

Hmm... makes you wonder what 115ft-lb of torque linearly available from 0 to 6400RPM feels like...

I can't tell if that actually IS slow or if it just seems slow because of the way the bike sounds...

The engine noise seems right in the human speech area. Definitely will need to wear earplugs.

Ever.

I thought it's too loud for an electric bike too.

Yep, I wear earplugs all the time too.

Exactly!!  Like riding a scooter, only that it's a 141hp scooter with that much torque from 0 rpm.

I bet you can wheelie at will on that bike, with just a twist of the throttle.

Burnouts must be easy and more fun too...  no great, no clutch

On the negative side, I bet it's more difficult coming out of corners on the track, with a risk of highsiding at the slightest throttle control mistake.

I notice none of these companies are going on about the weight of these things. They must be heavy!
