Makes me proud when I first saw this in MotoGP races back then in 2002. Raced along Mick Doohan at that time, but this team was never achieved the results they hope for.

This bike is actually for sale by RMDMotors.com

I have taken the opportunity to test ride since I have never ride an electric bike before.
