That's a major thumbs up endorsement.

Now a supercross with all electric bikes, the sound of a big crash - would you be able to hear the person. don't like that idea. Unsure

That was a great review by Travis thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure I share his optimism with electric bikes preventing tracks closing or opening more areas to ride though.  The fun police and Karens will ALWAYS find something to complain about.

If noise is no longer an issue then it will be dust and soil erosion next.

Low end power off the freaking charts,  can't keep your feet on the pegs !!

 It wasn't that that long ago I was complaining to some old timers at an estate sale my wife was running and one guy said to me " Things change , you don't see any Black Smiths around anymore do you "

True...

There is an e-moto specific indoor track that opened up in the UK earlier this year. Wouldn’t have been allowed to open if there was noise/smoke pollution..

Pretty cool...  but damn, I got dizzy watching the little video.  It was like riding in a corkscrew.

Just like you hear all the injured people in non-motorsports like football, basketball...

I love what Travis said about the torque at the 80hp setting: "rips your feet off the footpegs" when you hit the throttle.

Damn! Grinning

Just what I think of all of you wanking all over endlessly on these electric crapmobiles.

We hear all of you, and we are heeding your sound advice, and MXA’s. We installed the 78 tooth rear sprocket, went down to a 105 main jet, race gas at 52:1 and installed an FMF pipe. Improved mid-range significantly. 09FCF690-8191-4E13-92C6-227F127B6BE6

The only thing I heard from TP was "I love 2-strokes".       Nuff said.

 

Quiet sucks...   the Vrrrr  Vrrr Vrrr sounds sucks....the clack, clack, clack of the chain sucks.

80HP....even the pros are saying it's way more than anyone needs.    How many more people are gonna end up in wheelchairs due to 80 hp bravado.

Been kicking around the idea of trying a triple backflip lately, his endorsement seals the deal for me.

Really cool video. TP shows what it's about: having fun at the moto track. Forget all the infighting and enjoy your day off at the track!  "Run what you brung"
