You ain’t the demo bro. Stop trying to convince yourself that you need to be convinced. You aren’t the demo move along.
Have the Etards changed their minds? If I am not, who is?
If I remember correctly CR is “Circuit Racer” but all the rest are right.
Names change over time and I’m not bothered by Honda calling their e-Moto a CRF-E or whatever.
I would actually like to see if I can get you on the podcast. I’m one of the Etards (name is so funny) and would be happy to talk back and forth with you about it. If I can’t work you into the podcast, then we could do it on my personal channel.

I've heard variations of the name, "Course Racer", "Circuit Racer" and even "California Racer" to go with Elsinore, but haven't seen any official Honda documents with the name.
I’m just pulling from memory from my time at a small Honda shop like almost 25 years ago. So you might be right.

No it isn’t
Ha. He won't do that. His only opinion is electric sucks and has no place in moto. The podcast would last about 90 seconds.
Someone who pays retail for bikes for one and isn’t threatened by the idea of having to plug something in after using it.
Can I come on and debate him live? Now that would be a fun
Gotta wonder if the major manufacturers are biding their time for Solid State battery tech to mature. From every test I've seen/watched, current battery technology is just not up to task for a 30 minute moto at the pro level. That's the gold standard IMO. When you get several hours of use (by a pro riding at race speed), then it's consumer ready.
Batteries are the biggest barrier to the industry going full electric as of 2023.
“bAtTErY TeCh HaSnT cHaNgED for 100 YeArS!”
yep, solid state is going to solve the range issues.
Solid state will fore sure improve, but, Toyota/Honda (and others) who are betting on car solid-state have postponed their plans again with a few years. I'm sure we will have amazing solid-state motocross bikes, but question is, it it 2028 or 2035? My body is aging and I rather ride a Varg (and a CRF250) now for the next 5 years than wait for it solid-state.
Indeed, extremely boring, I couldn't watch the IOMTT E-races even.
I would actually like to hear from someone who is so against E-bikes. But all they seem to do is get mad hurl insults.
Just make e-motos 15 or 20 minutes and open it up for homebuilds and prototypes with high and low weight limits. When battery tech improves bump them up to 30, but its time lay out a plan to integrate electrics into the program just like every other top motosports series. Also maintains gassers as the top of the sport for luddites.
Honda's officially stated plan is solid state batteries in the second half of the 2020s, but Stark's Varg may force a faster response
Pit Row
Stark could find themselves in a pickle if Honda has proprietary solid state battery tech that can't be matched for some time in the Varg. They are saying half the weight of lithium ion and faster charging.
They could, but...
Toyota is claiming they have made a breakthrough in solid state batteries, that will double the range of existing batteries and have faster charging times, but at the same time they are lobbying Congress to delay changes to transition to all-electric cars. That sounds like they are not ready for production yet.
Existing Honda electric scooters, use swapable battery packs with liquid lithium-ion batteries, Honda is hedging it's bets with battery types and supply sources, their Sakura City factory will manufacture solid state batteries, but they will have issues, and it will take time.
Stark has set the benchmark, when Honda releases their CR-E, it would need to meet or better that benchmark, brand loyalty only goes so far!
Wonder who will leak out e-bikes next. I know Yamaha has electric mountain bikes.
So would I, I'd love to address any concerns a reasonable person would bring up. But that's just the thing, most of these guys have no desire at all to actually have a discussion and they know their argument is weak, that's why none of them will ever agree to it.
Yamaha hasn't officially announced an electric motocross bike, there are several conversion being developed using existing chassis, including one from Yamaha Motor Europe N.V., an electric two-wheeler development company Dohms, battery producer SPIKE and the Royal Dutch Motorcyclists Association (KNMV)...
Yamaha will be slow to electric...
MXLittleDic has admitted on here he has to use AI to craft some of his responses.
No way does he want to engage in a live conversation, he’d be putting his obvious lack of intellect on full display. He’s dumb but not that dumb.
I'm really tired of the same ebike arguing over and over.
Can we debate different types of boobs instead?
Just like ICE and electric bikes, they are all good!
Is there a good or bad type?
It wasn’t lost on me when I offered to give them a platform, but they couldn’t hide behind a keyboard, they got quite.
I think they're all good, but some of those Commiefornia people on here are weird.
Real are good, artificial are bad!
