So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?
I believe in the "hereafter", every time I go to the shed I have to think "what am I here after"

Doesn't come close. Sport bike yes but as tourer it's severely lacking.

Yorkie is having a laugh.  At this stage, these electric bikes don't really replace anything- they're a niche of their own, especially with their limited range and relatively slow recharge.  At US$38,000 Leno is also having a laugh- "Oh, just that much, I thought it would be more than that!"

The look and performance is pretty impressive, and it's cheaper than a new GoldWing.   :thumb

Should be.  It has only one gear and the top Wing has 7!    :grin

Thanks Yorkie. I really enjoyed watching the video.
Increase the range from 160 km to 600 km (max distance before taking a compulsory break on IBA rides), equip garages with charging stations and I’d buy one for US$38,000. I doubt I have that many riding years left in me before that happens.
