“If it were ICE-powered would I buy it? No.
So why would I buy it because it is electric?
The danger of a motorcicle but without the fun.”I own 11 motorcycles, five are electric. I enjoy the electrics most of all.
My current motorcycles (I have owned them all since new):
1971 Black BMW R75/5/
1984 Red Yamaha Venture
2002 Yel Suzuki DR200SE
2013 Blue Triumph Trophy SE
2016 Org/Blk Kawasaki Versys 650 LT
2017 Blk/Gold HD Road Glide Ultra
2017 Org Zero DS ZF 6.5
2017 Red Zero SR ZF13 w/ Pwr Tank
2020 Blue Energica SS9
2023 Bormio Ice Energica Experia LE
2023 Green Zero DSR/XHave you ever ridden an electric–in the sport mode? I don’t even use the sport mode, it’s way, way too fast for me, especially on my Energicas. But it’s the torque I like. Nothing else like it.

The Tesla supercharger is the only reliable charging network. I just hope the same holds true when they have Magic Dock installed everywhere. So for, only one in Texas, two in CA and ten in New York. So far, all at unneeded locations. Perhaps we are doing the beta testing for Tesla before they install more.
I need CCS a lot more than Tesla DC fast charging. I do own a Tesla, it has been charged on the road three times since the car was new in 2018.
But my Energica electric motorcycles need a CCS charge every trip.
I have used the Magic Dock in Placerville, CA. It would only charge at 8 KW max. 25 KW if I use a normal CCS a mile away. So there are issues Tesla needs to work on with Magi Dock. But at least it did work on my Energica motorcycle.
