Can you even make a u-turn on that thing, or is the correct answer three right turns then a left?

Looking closer, I don't think you could lean more than 10 degrees without scraping even for a normal turn. I don't know why I'm trying to apply normal motorcycle physics to this thing though, it's only going to make my head hurt.

Pretty good deal on a Daytona 675R, but the stickers on the bike make me question the owner (maybe I'm just being a dick):

Buying new(ish) tech from a company that just got shut down (dealer support til 2020 or no), seems like a really poor idea. That price is tempting, though.

If KTM just got shut down and that was a 6k 1290, I'd be posting from the saddle of a 1290 right now. Brammo is a different story.

The only real wear parts on that Empulse are the tires, brakes, and batteries, the latter being the only part that might be difficult to replace as they age and don't hold as much of a charge. For 6 large I'd be all over that thing.

Indian is still a thing, still the same company. Let's not kid ourselves that thing is a Brammo.

Also the chain and clutch. Empulses aren't direct-drive like the Zeros.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

You don't slip the clutch so it doesn't really wear.

Brammo still exists as a company, (Polaris only bought the rights to the Empulse) and the bikes are simple enough that the aftermarket will have a lot of opinions on how they should run very soon, likely.

I mean... my pods alone put out 5600 lum. I just think the stock KTM headlamp does a horrible job of putting the extra 3800 lum from the cyclops LED out into the world. Ironically, the incand has a better and brighter beam profile than the LED, or any other bike I've ridden. I don't want to go back to that for reasons I don't want to get into.
