Brammo Earns Seventh Place Against Gas Bikes

Only this time the electric sportbike manufacturer would be trading blows not with other electric bikes, but with their ICE counterparts at the second round of the American Federation of Motorcyclists series — one of the oldest club racing organizations in the country. We recently mentioned Brammo’s eligibility with AFM, and this weekend was the first outing.

The render is intriguing: according to it, the younger “ninja” can get a “birdcage” frame and a “changeling” fork.
