I can’t understand why people say the range is a joke. I have a Moto Guzzi 1200 Griso and VMAX 1700. Both only return 90 miles to a tank full of fuel. How many people realistically do more than 100 miles in any one go? Very few in fact.
Don't believe many people will go over 100 miles before deciding to charge at one point
I'm split into both wanting an electric bike to look like a cross between a Tron light cycle and tetsuo's bike in Akira and wanting a full retro but with a battery pack disguised to be a parallel/V-twin...
I'm not saying Akira was the reason I got a bike... but, I'm sure it played a role, like CHiPS, and Top Gun did.
Ah, the 80s.
@@threethrushes me and my best friend had matching bicycles, we had police sirens on the bars and we pretended we were in california highway patrol!
Electric bikes are the way to go. Zero have come a long way. Energica is nice too but very expensive & no dealership support in Australia. We’re still burning coal so no government incentive to buy EVs.🤦♂️. Otherwise, great info MOTOBOB ✅🚀
Just started looking at electric motorcycle's. SR-F would be my choice, fully fared sport bikes are my cup of tea ☕. At 67yrs I'm trying keep an open mind to the future. This two bikes are great example's of what is possible. Great review! Always enjoy your informative and open comments and reviews 👍👍
I have the SRF for commuting and weekend rides and agree with your view. I'm glad to see ongoing reviews and commentary on EVs even during new bike 2021 video review season :-)
how far is your commute and do you still enjoy using it to commute?
Excellent video as usual. I think the naked is the better looking of a bike, and as you said without the infrastructure being finished yet it would be my personal choice as my Intown bike
I’ve ridden both and didn’t care for the faring. Really no point to a faring if you can only ride 100 miles at a time. The faring also makes noise.
Thanks to the best Moto reviewer on Utube.
The SR-S with its hunched forward design looks somewhat like a buell!
Great vid Bob.
Ya wanna put a link to your other channel in the description 😃
Doh! Thanks for the reminder
None, yet. I love where it's going, but until the battery capacity vs. size and range issues get better, it's not worth the price.
Like for keeping it short and to the point
They both look very good. get the one that does 200 miles highway speeds
I wonder if the fairing reduces drag at motorway speeds. If it does, then surely it would mean the range is slightly better. If this is the case, then I think the faired one is the best choice out of these. Although I don't see myself getting an electric bike until it's economically viable and practical from a range and charging perspective.
They say the range is better but only if you tuck
Not much has changed on this front for a while it seems. Love the idea of an electric bike but so few of us could afford one. Then there is the range, not even enough for an average Sunday afternoon blast. Seriously niche, but good luck to them. Cheap(ish) electric commuters will be the route to mass acceptance I'm sure and the Chinese seem to be working on covering that angle. I'm surprised it is taking so long, but I guess battery range, as for the cars is the greatest hurdle to overcome.
How far are you looking to ride?? I have the zero s, with the 13KW battery, and can cover over a hundred miles (city) on a charge. And as far as price, buy used. I found an '18 model with 600 miles on it recently, for $7000. Not bad imo.
Hmm. I’m an sr/f kind of guy, but the sr/s looks nice
Well in india we have a similar looking bike of the sr-s . The hero extreme 200s ...
Wasn't J.Juan bought by Brembo recently? EDIT: Yes it was, announced end of April
Interesting! Thanks mate
@@motobob you're welcome, thanks for all the videos.
The non naked looks rad as hell
i liked the naked one more than faired one , 😀
Perfect Amazing Fantastic Exelent Magical 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Mmm... So cool!)))) 😎
hi eveyone, with choices like zero and energica, why in the world would any bodywithout deep pockets buy the hd livewire!!!
A touring bike with a range of 100 miles is laughable, problem with E-bikes compared to E-cars is that you can`t just put bigger batteries on them, they have a limit and as long as the batteries is`t better E-bikes only have a small market, I could see my self with an E-scooter in the city or as a second "car" for commuting to work, but insted of my Etc. Suzuki GSX1000GT it won`t work.
All the zero motor bike are in low motor rpm
Gotta be nude. Srf all day. I've got 2 of em lol. Both are awesome preference thing really. I just uploaded a quick burnout vid 😎 too much fun
Now lets do it for cars lol
Neither of them, but thumbs up.
I don't ride everyday, when I do ride, I ride longer distances than an electric bike, enjoy the sound of the engine, enjoy the rumble through the bike,,,still not a fan.
The electric motorcycle was made for city travel
Soooooo an electric motorcycle is .... an scooter?
Range is still a joke tho
It'd be the naked for me. Trade wind protection for sportiness and style. Sorry Zero but that fairing is ugly, why can't American brands make nice fairing? That said if I had the money for a new E bike I'd splurge the extra for the Energica, Italian style trumps American style 7 days a week.

Petrol may be old fashioned , but
we win nothing today by riding
electric bikes environmentally,
not a thing. And Nuclear Power to
feed the grid is definitely not a
good solution. Eventually we will have
great power sources, in quantities we need,
not there today, someday though.
Well you're just wrong. In Scotland for example, renewables met 97% of Scotland's electricity demand in 2020. So yes, riding electric TODAY does benefit the planet environmentally.
@@Omar-kw5ui bs bro, Not in the US,
China or Russia, and I think you're full
of sht about Scotland, what is your
major power source, do you have
a link to that power breakdown.
Scotland is the size of a state in the US.
@@bikersoncall what is BS? Why are you getting irrationally offended? The video is made in the UK, you commented saying we win nothing environmentally by riding electric bikes. This is wrong for multiple reasons: 1. There are many countries in the EU where the majority of electricity is generated using green energy. 2. People who buy electric bikes can charge them using solar panels on their houses. 3. Even if you use electricity generated using power stations, the overall life cycle co2 consumption is arguably better, for example go watch engineering explained’s video comparing co2 life cycles of electric cars to petrol cars. 4. Even if all of the above was not true, you would still be doing the environment a favour by supporting companies that are developing technologies that might in the future lead to environmental benefits - case in point tesla. If people didn’t support tesla early on, we wouldn’t be as far along the path of car electrification as we are now worldwide.
@@Omar-kw5ui BS , is you telling someone
it's not true, when it is true, you are
in some tiny little place, and you can't
even back up your blsht claim that you
are 97% renewable when that wasn't
even the issue, just because its
renewable doesn't mean it's free of
horrible contaminants, and somehow
env friendly because its renewable.
Well where is this documentation to
back this 97% up, regardless.
don't attack the msgr bro.
What I said in the op was fact, I don't give a sht really what you think you're
accomplishing in Scotland , but since
you made you claim and called me
a liar, lets see you back it up.
@@Omar-kw5ui I found some Scotland
figures, pretty impressive, I'm not sure
of the efficacy of wind across the globe
apparently you have a pretty constant
source of wind providing close to
70% of your energy, hydro is good too,
but in the US that only accts for
about 7% of our energy, and wind it
surely much less than that.
Tidal looks promising (future).
Photovoltaic is not practical in scotland
apparently.
What I was saying in the op relates
to global energy sources, not some
isolated experiment, bravo to Scotland,
but what I said on a Global arena
is that we ARE NOT there yet, some
day we will be, but for the hoards of
screaming idiots that think electricity
is somehow cleaner than petrol is
complete bullocks.
Il never buy a electric road bike.. true bikers love the soul of a bike.. the noise, the smell the character.. the powerband of 2stroke or the grunt of a vtwin or the screaming 4 cylinder.. bikes are a passion those things are a mode of transport like a scooter but with even less involvement 🤢🤮
If this is the future I'm out, stick with my 1000cc V twin until the Govt no longer allow me to ride it.
boo
