VIDEO: Brammo shows off Enertia TTR bike for TTXGP

Update: Second video added after the break!
Thirty-six days from now, Brammo plans to send an electric motorcycle called the Enertia TTR across the Atlantic Ocean to the Isle of Man for the first running of the TTXGP zero-emissions time trial. Brammo's entry will face plenty of stiff competition, so it's not surprising to see the team out and about on the roads of Southern Oregon getting their race bike ready for the event. Fortunately, they brought their video camera with them.
We can clearly see that this isn't a completely stock Enertia. At the very least, there's a full fairing to improve high-speed aerodynamics and a reconfiguration of the rider compartment, putting the pilot in a much more streamlined and race-ready position. We're still unsure what mechanical changes have been made to the Enertia platform, but we're patient. Sort of. Click past the break to watch the video.

Looks like it was moving pretty good. Has a cool sound to it too. I remember reading an article that said the TTXGP would be boring partially because there will not be any engine noise. Kinda shoots that argument down. Can't wait to see more!

Too short! I'm hungry for more lol. That is one sweet ride. I hope that a lot of what they learn from this bike, gets translated to the commercial Enertia.

And it tops out at a blistering 65 mph!
Despite it's relative lack of performance, I would buy one if i had the cash to burn. But for the average guy, you've got to show knee-dragging action and wheelies if you want to sell that damn thing!

Rad! Sounds an awful lot like James T's bike.
