If they're as good as we hope and it is a bit of an IF.... then the Aprilia 660 are being bloody given away !!!

I think you'll struggle to do better than KFBs £500 deal a lot of the time.

Who's going to be the first one here to buy a battery bike and tell us all about it?

I'd love one, especially a Zero, but I have no idea about reliability and longevity, availability of cycle parts, dealer back up etc. They're just too much money though and that's the real killer.

This ^^^.

It'll surprise no-one that I think electric motors are just as exciting as piston engines, but I'm just not buying a 20k bike whatever it's powered by.

Especially when the Triumph is going to cost you £25k to get going ;)

The best deal is to obviously just ride the one you have in the garage a bit more and a bit better..

But I guess that is not the point !

That depends on how intelligent (or otherwise) you and a wife are - And, of course, what decade you're living in :D :wave:

I briefly considered the Zero FX but their qouted range is 70 miles and in real life is closer to 50 which is exactly what my commute is, I’m not that much of a chancer so not really a goer and at over 10k there’s a whole world of bikes I’d rather have.

I've just been reading review of the DL1050 V-Strom, it mentioned that they have an IMU with hill decent, cornering ABS, traction, etc...

It also claimed it was the best value ADV at £12k.

I had a quick look on t'bay and spotted this...

That's one hell of a deal.

Shame it's the shittest of the colours.
