I will never forget seeing my first SportClassic in TRON and from that moment on I had to have one. I was in a position to buy one last year until I had to spend that money rebuilding my parent's Toyota Landcruiser. Prices here in Australia range from about $10k AUD up to $20k AUD. Difference being the Paul Smart replicas are $20k plus and over the last year values appear to have increased. I'm torn between exactly which model but kind of have a preference for one with fairings.

Not going to happen this year! In fact, I just bought this to tide me over until the Duc becomes a reality:

Here are some Danes and an Icelander working on an electric motorcycle:

Fenris Motorcycles

Over 300 km/t: Danskere udvikler lynhurtig motorcykel...der kører på el

https://www.facebook.com/fenrismotorcycles/

About a horsepower per kg and designed for handling and strong, usable power as I read it. Swingarm front suspension akin to Bimota Tesi as far as I understand. Rather cool imo!

The electric bike technology is moving fast! On and off road.

*wolf whistle*

i have a big soft spot for Vertemati / VOR. Incidentally VOR means 'spring' in my language. Plus they were green. The joke is that when one of the very few VOR riders show up for a ride then "VORið er komið", spring is here, ha-ha

That's great tourist I always wanted a VOR530. The eccentric thing just works for me. I always admired how my mates Yamaha started so easily and did everything so damn well but that's just a bit bland for me hey.....

Geez mate, you've got me scanning Gumtree now....
