If it puts out that kind of power, and has that kind of range, what kind of range would a commuter version with more conservative gearing have?]]>Feb 4th 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/mission-one-ev-electric-motorcycle-boasts-150-mph-top-speed-ext/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/mission-one-ev-electric-motorcycle-boasts-150-mph-top-speed-ext/Feb 4th 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/mission-one-ev-electric-motorcycle-boasts-150-mph-top-speed-ext/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/mission-one-ev-electric-motorcycle-boasts-150-mph-top-speed-ext/
I have an 82 Goldwing and I love how I get to sit straight up on it. Very comfortable

I was also leery of this prone position but my buddy has an R1 and I sat on it (he is rebuilding it so not running yet and I do not consider myself skilled enough yet to try riding that beast) but I have to say it was NOT uncomfortable. your "gut" rests on the tank and provides quite a but of support. I was surprised how "easy" it felt. Now after an hour of riding I have no idea but initially I was surprosed.

Now I am a big boy 420 pounds 6'4" so that might skew things a bit.]]>Feb 7th 2009 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/mission-one-ev-electric-motorcycle-boasts-150-mph-top-speed-ext/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/mission-one-ev-electric-motorcycle-boasts-150-mph-top-speed-ext/
Hope the "more affordable model" announced this summer will be just like that.

"At 150mph, if your head is not tucked down on that hump, you will be pulled off the bike by the force of the air hitting you at that speed. Most super bikes are similar in geometry. "

This looks great. I'm sure they could make one that looks like every other motorbike but you don't pay $70k for something that looks like every other motorbike. Boring designs will probably come later, after the sensible price tag.

"Real Time Data Acquisition
The Mission One's data acquisition feature allows riders to capture ride data in real time. Riders can record ride data, such as speed, location, or lean angle; or bike data, such as motor current, battery voltage, or efficiency. Riders can take that data to their computer to analyze their performance, brag to other riders, or prepare for their next ride.

Wireless Enabled
The Mission One is the first wireless enabled motorcycle. It introduces riders to a new way of connecting to their motorcycle. When going to work on their bike, a Mission One rider will take a computer more often than a wrench. Riders will be able to download ride data, check bike status, and update bike settings in a matter of seconds through a seamless user interface.
