Brammo Enertia, Brammo Enertia Plus, Brammo Empulse, Brammo Motor 2011
All three models have Empulse 100 mph + top speed, 60% improvement over the 60 mph top speed Enertia. No more fear of riding in the right lane without a go-juice on tap. $ 9,995 Empulse 6.0 to 60 miles range, $ 11,995 Empulse 8.0 to 80 miles range and $ 13,995 10.0 Empulse has a range of 100 million range No more anxiety and tax rebates in some states to bring the price Empulse 10.0 to 7000 dollars, much less anxiety.
On top of all these games changing improvements Empulse looks amazing. Brammo again captured the essence of classic motorcycles combustion in electric motorcycles, in which the rotor in an engine is only part of the rotary or oscillating north of the chain. Do not get me wrong, I've always loved the look Enertia. But the exposed engine and battery Empulse will have all the luck Enertia owners hunt for ways to decrease the sidewalls.

Cagiva Mito SP525 2011 |
As well as two catalytic converters and a smart ECU brain, the Cagiva engine has a new Dell'Orto designed "electronic Carburation System 'keeping the air / fuel / oil mixture as efficiently as possible. And it all works. When you eventually start Cagiva Mito SP525 having taken the tank off to establish the position of the unlabeled choke switch, then pulling your hair out because you did not know how the kill switch works, sure it idles and pulls flawlessly and clean. When we last rode a 125cc two stroke it coughed, stuttered and spluttered their way throughout the rev counter, but this Cagiva Mito SP525 is as smooth as silk and strong right up to 10.000 rpm.

Falcone 500cc excellent example of this in the 50s, a bike with incredible reliability, a point where the two American members of the original owner of the Guzzi Club, one of more than 50 years, a daily close to the cabalgadas is well!
Guzzi at the top of the stack at the beginning of the production of 500cc bikes were reliable and sports. Italy was the highest Guzzi in the market-most production in decades, with the street bikes less than 100cc - 300cc bike was considered on the "big". Guzzi always liked the "big" bike building, but we need to adjust the scale. However, Harley Davidson, Guzzi cruisers already in the building than anyone els - His Incarnation in the first cruiser to see you go over a 1967 V700. Continuous since 1921 had been around longer than anyone but Harley Davidson. A Moto Guzzi California Vintage Street Cred of the week with "wannabe" Moto Guzzi, without more "Street Cred cruiser" has more than most people give credit.
