Lars Nilsson said:

?? 1/2 We bought the Honda CBR 600RR because the fra💫me design is well suited to convert to an electric system and since the new partsཧ are about the same weight and placement we expect the handling to be very similar to the original bike.?? 1/2

?? 1/2 We 📖are all really thrilled to be participating in the world?? 1/2 s greatest motorcycle race although we have a lot of work between now and June to get the bike ready. The TT is the ultimate challenge for an electric motorcycle and we are looking forward to the task.?? 1/2
