But yeah, what's not to like? 4-hour run time and easy battery swap? It beats hauling cans of gasoline into the boonies (unless you plan to recharge using a generator).

It seemed a bit noisy, though. Maybe if they replaced the chain with a belt or driveshaft ... (I'm sure the KTM engineers are smarter than me, and have reasons for using a chain).

Me, I'll wait for the street version, with saddlebags to haul my stuff to work.
