speculation as to when we see someone attempt to qualify? whats everyones thoughts? will it only be able to run in the 250 class? lets hear your thoughts. I have really been wanting to try one of these out and would consider buying one if I liked it.

IOM ZeroTT went from 86mph average laps to 119mph laps in the space of about 10 years.
If the AMA doesn't let them in, they are begging for a pirate series to start up that will welcome them along with gassers 2t and 4t.
Ultimately it’s impossible to get mfg support without legitimate sanctioning.
In a perfect world the FIM & AMA would see the need for this tech and open doors for it to race. Until a Japanese brand enters this market space, electrics will be boxed out.
Maybe RedBull can start a series? With 4 mfgs it would at least appear legitimate...
Alta
HD branded Altas
KTM
Husky branded KTMs
Promoters aint gonna turn the entry fee away.
Consumers are gonna have to lead the way on this.
Kids need this coming off of 85’s.
Pit Row
OK, save the fuel for the torches.
Ive never understood why mfgs made the jump from 85 to 250cc so massive. From 50 to 65 to 85 to 150f it’s all scaled and then a teenager is thrown on a bike the same dimensions as a 450. Doesn’t make sense.
I made it through the nasty grumpy sound but once it’s silent worg 20-40 rider fields heading into the first turn I think I’ll be done. Tried watching electric car racing and it’s unwatcgable
I guess I'm behind, didn't know Yamaha was working on one.
