I'm surprised bikes like these took so long to come about. I am actually excited to see what other manufactures come up with as i can see bikes like these being very popular in future especially if our government cracks down on ICE engines like i feel they will in the not so distant future. My only question is is this bike now considered an automatic or still a manual? as this gearing set up feels like it can be a bit of a cheat code to pass the big bike test and still be able to ride manual bikes.

Thanks for a very interesting and informative review. One thing that I really did notice and like was that the electric mode also has actual gears rather than some sort of CVT arrangement and simulated gears. Very cool motorcycle! There is one thing I really didn't like and that was the abruptness of the gear shifts, particularly in EV mode. It seemed as if the power was literally switched on and off producing a very jerky shift which is no good for the longevity of the machine. Hopefully, this will be fixed with a software update. For what it is, I think it's a fantastic machine and very interesting concept. This makes is even sadder it suffering the same fate as any other electric or hybrid vehicle at the present time. The problem is how to fix it when it is out of warranty. I know for a fact that my local motorcycle shop will not have anything to do with electric machines - I asked them about it. When I have taken by my regular car to a garage, I've asked them about EVs and, again, they won't touch them - even if it is not the electrical side that needs repair! This leaves the (potential) owner high and dry with no hope of economical repair making it a main-dealer-only proposition for those with suitably deep pockets, assuming even the main dealer will look at it! It wouldn't surprise me in the least if there are dealers only too keen to sell electric or hybrid transport but will not service or repair it themselves and it has to a 'specialist' at even greater cost, assuming there is one in the area.

Electric motors can be put on both wheels allowing for 2 wheel drive. Hybrid provides the best of both worlds and should be the way we go, not full switch to electric …

I've owned a Ninja 400 (4 years, 50k+ kms) and currently own a Ninja ZX4-RR (11k Kms). I can say that, in terms of fuel economy, they are almost similar, with the Ninja 400 getting a slight edge. Ninja 400 with 1 week mileage (5 days city commute, 1 day spirited riding in the mountains) gives me around 22 Km/L, while the Ninja ZX4-RR gives me around 21 Km/L. I suppose that I ride more spiritedly more often, the ZX4-RR will suffer a greater decrease in fuel economy. Ninja 400 is also nimbler and lighter, but the ZX4-RR is just better is almost every other aspect.

I came back to bikes after a 12 year lay off a couple of years back. I'd always had superbikes of that era so decided to go with an older bike rather than splash a load of cash on a complicated machine that I might not get on with. I ended up with a ZX9R E1 in the classic green/purple livery. Mine had sat around barely doing 1000 miles in the last decade so needed some attention, I put Rosso III's on it, a new clutch, digital gear indicator and a few other bits. Didn't originally imagine I'd keep it but I absolutely love it, such a good road bike totally composed and capable. I always reset my trip after fuelling up and generally refuel when i'm close to 100 miles which is about where the reserve kicks in. Criminally underrated bike and an absolute bargain if you can find a good one. You'll miss it!

I noticed one particular day last week, that it seems "Experienced" riders can pick another Motorcyclist when they are driving a car... I mean sometimes I make it very clear I am getting out of the way for Them!. But other times... what I must do has to be so subtle that only an Experienced Motorcyclist would notice, and respond in a way that motorcyclist only do to other Motorcyclists. Even road position. they may be only just appearing in my mirror, and I will move over maybe 6 inches, and they notice from 100m away. raise a finger or two off the clutch lever to say Hi as they pass by, seeming ly knowing that I will be looking enough to see them do it. yet give a very different one finger "wave" to someone further up the road!
