And btw.. have you ever seen Justin Hill on the Alta. He pulled that long lane in straight rhythm quite alright.
I'm not sure how you don't consider Josh Hill a "real pro"? Wasn't he qualifying for main events this season?
And come on.. a 450 main event winner isn‘t a real pro??

1. They are not in production
2. there is no class for them
3. They can't say just add two teeth on the rear sprocket to tighten up the gaps in the transmission.
But MXA's subscriptions are faltering so in desperation they probably would test even a pre-production unit just to get people to buy their rag.
I'm halfway through the podcast. Anton Wass seems like a humble guy with reasonable ambitions. When he said they are working with battery engineers from Zagreb, something clicked. I am also happening to work with Rimac.
What I didn't like so far is the price model. They may be able to reduce their costs over time, but there was zero mention of this being in favour to the customer. Instead, Wass was rather interested in higher grade products with even a higher price tag. Come on, bring the price down to 6-8K and you will sell exponentionally more, maybe with a different model. You will also open the doors for beginners.
The bike costs 12K. Even a three year old used one will still sell for at least 8-9K in the future. They know that these bikes will have a long lifespan, so they have to incorporate that into their business model. Let's face it, the batteries in there should go at least 1000 full cycles and be at least 80% useable still to be considered sustainable. If you manage to go 4 cycles a week, its going to last you 5 years. Be a normal human being with time constraints and you will at least double that.
Pit Row
What has me excited is that (1) they did their homework on frame geometry and flex, the bike weighs the same as my Honda 250F (wet), and I can turn the power down to match a 250F, and it will certainly let me moto hard for 40 minutes.
As soon as I can drive to the track in something that can charge it relatively quickly, I will probably cross over.
It’s not “Josh Hill can barely make a 250 Main….”
It’s “Josh Hill is so talented that he can stop actively racing many years ago and STILL make a 250 Main…”
Sorry I exaggerated the price. A YZ250 vertex piston kit is only $120.
Looking from a EV standpoint, there’s no wear on the motor. Volkswagen claims 1 million kilometers lifespan for their motors. Fully sealed of bearings last 1000s of hours. The few gears in there don’t have to deal with debris from the clutch or gear changes. You change the oil after a run in period and forget about them.
Sure, suspension and frame bearings are still the same, but you do that once a season as a weekend warrior.
At least you agree with what I said about the reliability of the electric bike‘s powertrain.
Just keep oiling your filters and blowing the grease out your linkage bearings with your power washer… but leave me alone with your childish arguing why something can’t possibly work.
If you only like ICE bikes: fine, keep riding it, but have an open mind for new stuff. If everybody was like you, we‘d still be enjoying the great outdoors on horseback.
