Where's Jérôme?

[Jérôme Daoust]

I've been neglecting the elecric bike forums recently, 'cause I've been focused on riding this thing...

 

134 kW motor, a small change from my 250 W electric bike.

 

Now, let's see how long until I crash.

Wow, Jerome, sweet ride! Best of luck with it. How about some details?
I can't tell from the photo what the make is.

Hi Larry,

It's a 2009 (insignificant changes in 2010) Honda CBR 1000RR with ABS:

2009 shootout winner:

Can you believe I got it for the same price as an Optibike 850R.
I mean, I got more R's in the name for the same price.

Jerome, Jerome, Jerome. You show up on an electic bike forum, posting
a pic with a crotch rocket, and justify it by dissing one of the best
built American made electric bikes. Tust, tust...what shall we do
with you?

Hi Dan. :-)

BTW, I will keep riding my electric bikes occasionally, because the GF
and I still enjoy them. It's just that I won't be upgrading them this
year. So I look forward to new models coming out until then.

Thinkering with your motorcycle is almost as much fun as with an
ebike:

Good rides,

I love bikes in any form . I also fancy a new steed some type of mx
bike .
any ideas what i should be buying ?
Needs to have a muffin box for my nibbles ( only kidding )
I was hoping the opti boys would come up with some offroad monster
this year .

Well if you don't want pedals, there are a few options:

Quantya Track or Strada

Zero MX or DS

EMC EMAX 72DS

I'm thinking you want pedals, in which case the options are limited:

Stealth Bomber

Bring on the Opti monster.

Jerome what would the chaps at ES think? They probably wouldn't be as
polite. What about an e-conversion?

Make sure you *don't* crash.

It WAS a bit of a weasel move IMO to post it as a "134 kW motor." Last
I checked gassers are rated by HP or BHP, not by watts or kilowatts.
