I like it, it's like a RR made love to an RC8R.... the only problem is the code name.
It's an experimental RR so eRR. I can imagine that conversation.... what should we call it? Err?? Great idea!

I know it's the way we're heading and electric is inevitable but I'd miss the lack of a nice exhaust note.
Electric systems are so much more efficient, there's no way we can avoid this...but I would hope the legislation only pushes for city centre use of them in the long term. Getting rid of all emissions in city centres is important. But I still want the choice away from that.
BMW, racing a S1000RR derived bike would be intriguing to watch especially at the TT. I'd be interested to know how many other of the big manufacturers are already doing similar development work.
The end for the petrol engine is not nigh, but it's certainly going to have to up its game. I'd love to see a "torque fill" hybrid system on a bike ala the P1.

I doubt we'll see a hybrid before a hydrogen due to the size of battery, fuel tank and motor
