Charge someone $45,000 for a traditional gasoline powered bike and the customer wants it to do meaningless things like perform to at least the level of a $10k 600. Someone paying a similar amount for an electric bike cares about one important thing, how much smug the bike lets them carry.

How much is this going to cost, like $50K?

The styling is 7-8 years behind, IMO.

The "introductory special pricing program" price for the supercharged Harley Revolution engine version was $45k. I would guess the "eSupersport" model will be $55+ and the "eSuperbike" model will be $65+.

The front certainly resembles that of a Duc 999. That debuted in 2003.
