I have so wanted to get an electric bike for the experience, but there's no such thing as 'cheapies' (yet) in electric motorcycles.

This is an eye-opener for me in West Mids on hearing first hand what some of you guys have to go through, and spend, just to ride to work in London.

For authenticity, I would love for 'Michal' to post a pic of his current Firestorm.

My pessimistic view is that this is merely a dredge for Twit followers.

Always sad to hear of are passion's great founders passing on. I'm fortunate to have a couple of sets of his wheels.

Deleted. Too late. Problem resolved.

Haven't decided yet, but with today and the ongoing forecast I'll have to get my head together very quick.

By the way, your 2 images aren't working.

Ah, my second look makes me wonder if the riding position will be adversely affected by way of propping the stomach higher with consequent longer reach to the bars?

Just a thought cos you've obviously sat on the bike and are either happy or commenced a diet!

Would make a good sponsor if their product was coffee and baps!!

Looks fine. Some people wouldn't even notice!

I would hope a member of the Hailwood family negotiate its purchase.

Hi and welcome.

Saw that bike on eBay. You've done well.

Enjoy the ride!!

Good call and so true in many cases, including mine!

Sometimes you have to try certain things so you can make a decision, otherwise you keep wondering if,

Keep trying to convince my wife of that very point!!

Right now we are paying $1.90 for a US gal. . .

Converting litres to gallons and equating with US currency, we in UK are paying $6.44 per gallon!

Wow!
Two owners boasting 20-plus years really speaks for these bikes.

I've had 3 over the past 2 years but will never get to 20 years.
