Thumbs up A123 Death Machine

Check out the ego on this crazy *******, lol.

I now fear electricity even more than before, this bike has over 400 hp with about 600 lbs of bike.
0-60 in about .99 sec.

check out the professional rider at the strip, the take off is insane, it sounds like a jet blast when launching down the 1/4.

I have a new respect for Dewalt batteries, wow. apperently GM is planning on using A123 LiFe batteries in the new volt.
I think the supercharger conversion for the crossfire is officially dead. I whant some A123's and a 300 hp motor!

Gee, makes my old H2 Kawi look pretty slow. Man I miss that scooter, at least my '85 r80rt can hoist the front wheel when I get squirrelly.

yeah they just broke into the 7 second 1/4 recently, pretty amaizing potential there, considering there are newer motors on the market able to put down more power.

The future is all electric, too bad A123systems is a privately held company, I would buy there stock like a madman!

Nice safety equipment he had on when playing with a bike capable of 0-60 in under a second!
