I've ridden long distances around US and usually if you've got 120 miles of gas range, you're fine pretty much anywhere on pavement, even in that very long stretch of no services in Utah. Off road of course is another universe.
I don't think an EV will replace the GS's capability for decades. I'm much more interested in replacing the capability of my DR-Z400 or WR250.
- sgt 3y agoThat would be a great start. But one could ponder the usefulness. Bikes like the DRZ400 is a niche bike. One doesn't replace that with an EV for the sake for the environment. I'd love to see an EV with that capability, but it won't happen if there's no market for it. We could easily be riding gasoline motorcycles for the next 100 years.
- dharmab 3y agoNiche? We must live in different places. Where I live dual sports are probably the most popular bikes after Harleys. All the kids in my neighborhood are getting Surrons instead of gas dirt bikes.
- sgt 3y agoI only meant niche as in the way motorcycles are a niche. Very popular yes but on the road there are 100 cars per motorcycle.
