Other thing is it only runs for 20 min on a full charge, max range is estimated at 100 miles. She runs just under 400 HP, with a single gear like it has it is not possible for most riders to control, twitch on the throttle once on a corner and it’s over. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |

The Santa Barbara, California resident beat every two-wheeled internal combustion competitor at this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, topping the 14,115-foot peak in 10:00.694. That time made him the fastest bike and the ninth place finisher, overall. The next fastest motorcycle was a Ducati Multistrada 1200 S piloted by Bruno Langlois, which campaigned in the Pikes Peak 1205 class and finished in 10:21.353.
