The winning avg speed for the MotoCzysz bike was still slower than the 1957 TT record speed of Bob McIntyre on a Gilera 500.
I suppose electric race bikes will come to the fore in racing some day. Maybe they'll put playing cards in the spokes to make them sound like real motorcycles.
Thanks for the link, it looks like it will be a great movie.
Doug,
There is a great debate about what electric cars, etc. should sound like. I think a nice loud speaker with lovely internal combustion engine sounds would be perfect. Just think, we could one up each other for a better speaker system for more authentic sound and bench race about which motorcycle engine sounds the best on our silent bike.

Take a look at www.chargemovie.com for an upcoming feature-length film about this race!
