Tell them they need to let you borrow the bike for a week because thanks to your review I'm gonna buy myself a DSR in a few months. I can't wait. I was gonna get an R6 or R1 gasoline monkey, but now seeing how much fun the electric Zeros are and seeing how torquey they are, I don't even want a gasoline monkey. I got a sports car for my gasoline funk, now I want some electric glide, cool wind in my hair! Smell of colitas rising up through the air, up ahead in the distance...
Your enthusiasm is palpable. Wonderful, wonderful bro. Can't wait to get me one. I figured why smoke cigarettes when I can take up a healthy hobby instead like riding a bike. Plus riding is a good workout too, helps you stay in shape and healthy! As long as you drive safe and don't do insane speeds and extremely dangerous stunts. Be safe my 2 wheeler friend.
I put Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2's on my DSR that I did 4000miles of rain commuting on, and they were like riding a whole new bike ... (I think the knobbies slip a bit up to ~40mph at full throttle - .7g on the phone, the Pirellis are .8G on the phone) Eco was my rain mode, it wouldn't break the knobbies in the rain at 34deg F
I rode DSR Black forest edition the other day. First time on a electric bike. I think I sounded very much like you :-) that power is awesome! Right now I'm wondering if this is the bike for me when I sell my Ducati Multistrada :-)
if the price is the only thing holding you back youll buy one in 10 years, competition is popping up and spreading like wildfire cuz these EM's are becoming more realistic to own
Hey Cooch, I just want to say ur prop one of the biggest reasons (your crash and your close call video) why I have just got a new jacket, knee guards, and shoes. I even got a high vis orange jacket. I veered away from wearing gear cuz I thought it looks "weird." I still do LOL, but safety is more important than looking cool. I also should check my tire pressure more often hahahaha. Its been a few weeks now lol. Anyways, ride safe and keep up the reviews :)
Lower center of gravity than a regular bike so actually is surprisingly easy. As long as you lift it the RIGHT way (your back to the tank) and your legs do the work - not your arms
$42,000 is the cost of a replacement battery for a brahma E bike..Don’t believe me, look it up before you buy one. A friend of mine is stuck with a brahma that has a battery that cannot be brought back to life. It’s out of warranty. He called the factory, he did everything right to try to recharge the battery, they told him his battery is toast, and a new battery is $42,000. The battery pack or whatever it’s called on a brahma consists of seven batteries. Each battery is $6000 x 7 = $42,000 Even if gasoline cost five dollars a gallon. $42,000 will buy 8400 gallons of five dollar per gallon gasoline. If your motorcycle gets 50 miles per gallon which is very doable, you will be able to drive your motorcycle 420,000 miles on $42,000 worth of five dollar per gallon gasoline If the price of gasoline is $3.50 per gallon, you will be able to buy 12,000 gallons of gasoline with $42,000, and that will take you 600,000 miles The reason I am pointing this out is, a good friend of mine is stuck with a brahma motorcycle in need of a battery. His bike is sitting , Dead, for a year now. Do your homework, ask questions, find out the cost of these batteries before you buy one of these things I am finding out that there may be e bikes/ motorcycles for much less than $20,000 brand new coming soon. There is no way my friend is going to buy a new battery that cost more than twice as much is a new motorcycle. He said if he doesn’t find a used good battery, he’s just going to part his machine out on ebay...
Battery CostThe most important thing to understand is that the batteries cost one third to one half of the list price.By reading the list price for the FX or FXS, a little math shows that: Each battery brick costs $2250 and the price for a FX/FXS without any batteries is $6500. The S/DS/SR/DSR line's batteries likely represents an even higher fraction of the motorcycle cost; given the 3-brick vs 4-brick list price, it seems like if the "brick price" were $2200 the base battery-less price would be $4800 (this is bogus but illustrative).
Huh ?!? First of all, in a dsr 14.4kw, there's 4 battery packs of 3.6kw not 7, dude. Second, where the hell do you get 6000 bucks per 3.6kw pack ? Like Chooch wrote above, it's about 2250 bucks per pack ! So after a while, yeah, you'll need to replace those 4 packs sooooooo you're looking at $9000 bucks NOT $6000 X 4 (not 7 !!) = $24,000. So I guess with your "logic", installation costs $33,000 ? LOL
$42,000 is the cost of the battery for a Brahma electric motorcycle owned by a friend. I thought it was a zero. My friend ended up selling it for parts because of the cost of a battery

It's like as soon as you sit on it you find your happy spot...:) Enter giggle here...
Nice review. Thank you!
OH MY GOD I CAN ONLY YELL ALL DAY LONG WHAT AN AWESOME BIKE OH MY GOD I CAN'T FEEL THE WEIGHT!
Another interesting bike. The front brake disc/rotor looks a bit skinny though!
Not as much of a problem as you would think. It stops well enough that's for sure!
Electric bikes are interesting, however for myself at that price FORGET it, lol, as always the best reviews on the tube!!
if the price is the only thing holding you back youll buy one in 10 years, competition is popping up and spreading like wildfire cuz these EM's are becoming more realistic to own
