Dear Santa: Mission One number two on Neiman Marcus Christmas Book Fantasy List
Dear Santa,
How are you? I am fine. I know I once said that if you would bring me a puppy for Christmas I would never bother you for anything ever again, but that was a long time ago and I'm hoping you've forgotten. Anyway, the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book just arrived and the second item on their "Fantasy Gift" list this year is a special edition of the Mission One electric motorcycle by Mission Motors and I really, really want one. Did I mention that I've been a pretty good boy this year and sometimes even washed the dishes?
There are only 10 bikes in this series, each done up in a gloss black and anthracite color scheme set off by forged magnesium Marchesini gold wheels. Almost as cool as flying reindeer, no? They're also throwing in "a visit to the Mission Motors headquarters in San Francisco and an on-track instructional session with one of Mission's professional racers at a racetrack in the Sonoma wine country." I wouldn't bother you about this but I seemed to have squandered my youth instead of staying in school and getting that law/medical degree. I also haven't had very good lottery luck and so don't have $73,000 stashed away anywhere so you're my only hope. Thank you very much and I don't mind the mid-2010 wait for delivery.
p.s. I promise not to drive it 150 mph unless I'm on a track and I'll even wear a helmet.
Yours Truly,
Domenick

Wait, so did you actually get the puppy?

I can only say that the characters and events depicted in this blog post are not necessarily non-fictional and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely and completely coincidental. Except for, perhaps, the squandered youth part.

Glad to see that they are moving away from the "gold on brown" design they got from this celebrity designer. Brown & high-tech don't mix (see original Zune).
At that price the bike has to be universally stunning. See Motoczysz:

Last time I checked the Motoczysz failed on race day at the TTXGP? I'm a fan of the black and gold as well. From the speed results, instant torque, range, and design, I'd say stunning might qualify. "Universally stunning"- that has to wait until Santa lets me ride it for Christmas! (though the bikes aren't slated for delivery until next fall I believe)

Mission failed too. So, what was your point..?

From what I read, the Czysz failed b/c the motors were putting out too much power. Not sure what happened to Mission but I don't think there are many people that would choose the looks of the Mission over the MotoCzysz. Some, but not many. Regardless, the Mission is available for purchase so, it wins in the short term for attainability, even at the sky high price.
