    amazing

    wow

    the scariest part to me, is that it is silent before the burnout, and before the launch

    quiet, to insane burnout in 0 dB

      That's the part that really gets me. Think about it....part of the thrill is the noise. Now, quiet drag racing. What will the neighbors complain about now? Tire smoke?

      Very cool bike...and some real thoughful design work, too.

          i love the noise

          its part of the fun

          you hear it pull up, and it "sounds" different, you know its faster

          not this electric thing though

          regardless, its an awesome machine for what it can do

            Silent but deadly...

            I was impressed by the burnout and intrigued by its sound while doing it... but when it actually shot off the line I was AMAZED! That sucker is QUICK!
            Nice lines too...
            VERY cool!

              I think I have a box of Duracells around here somewhere.

              Love the burnout. Sitting there off then.....ON.

                That is Crazy-Scary! I too love the noise of the engine, but imagine the thrill of nothing but the sound of the wind!
