Hopefully we get more hardcore dirtbike offeringsI figure in a few years they're going to improve both of those things.
Wondering when the big dogs will jump into the game.
This one actually has less range and isn't much more than the previous flagship, but with a ton more bells and whistles.
It's the first one they've put out that has similar accessories on it compared to a top of the line KTM or BMW, but for not much more money that their previous bikes. Big tech step forward, not much of a price increase.
I'm not a loud pipes guy at all, but maybe they'll add programmable motor sounds from the likes of a late 90's Speed Triple, your favorite 2-stroke, or even a small block V-8.I guess. That stuff just doesn’t move the needle for me. I see this as an evolutionary development from a manufacturer (and on a greater scale an industry) that’s going to need something revolutionary to gain any traction.

The Alta's weren't bad, wish they had survived. I rode them more than once, performance was not a problem, pretty much a KTM copy on chassis and suspension. Range was weak but still 1-2 hour depending on pace, terrain.I've got a longer wait than you as I'd like to be able to ride it however I want for 200+ miles.
At some point, there is going to be a leap in battery technology and then its going to get interesting.
Yes I read that, but no explanation of, and at what requirement for that recharge (availability of high rate charger etc). I know you know this too, just saying. High rate charging would and will be a simple fix to already existing infrastructure. Just like everything, there needs to be a need and demand for it in the wild and not something conjured up in Washington DCThis new model has the potential to recharge in an hour.
Stop for lunch at a charge port and be on your way after you eat.
