Been waiting for a decent electric motorbike for a while.
One of the big problems is the battery weight. In a car you can have it very low which makes for excellent handling; on a bike the 'obvious' place is the fuel tank which leads to a very strange balance.

I want one.
I was looking at trials bikes. Without the noise and fuel, these are appealing. Brakes on the bars. I guess they don't have a clutch either.

I think that absolute weight is more of a problem than where it is
The TT Zero bikes I've seen have the battery replacing the engine and fuel tank, and the record average lap speed is 119mph vs. the overall record of 134mph so they aren't too shabby at going round corners!
The Mugen TT Zero bike weighs 250kg though - I can't help thinking that the current battery technology is still going to mean a very heavy bike if it's going to have decent range.

My Honda VFR weighs about 230kg.
Except when I dropped it on ice once and found it actually weighs 16.4 metric tonnes.

There was a very loud bang accompanying a mild earthquake, and everyone stood up looking round, silently asking "what the FUCK was that?"

I do
I would not recommend one of those all in one kits at all - I bought one when I wanted to try airbrushing and it was bloody awful and nearly put me off entirely.
For beginning, you'll need to get yourself a compressor for about ยฃ60, and buy an airbrush for about ยฃ50-ish. The Neo by Iwata is a fantastic airbrush for non-professionals, and it was about the fifth airbrush I bought.
I would highly recommend giving yourself an extra thirty quid budget, because more so than with other stuff, you'll be paying several times over the first time a cheap airbrush clogs up and absolutely won't work.
Also, if you're painting models, I've got a set of vallejo paints I bought by mistake when I started, and they're useless for illustration - if you're willing to trust a b3tan with your address, I'd be happy to send them your way so they get used

Would prefer something metal that I can service and repair myself with gopping great heat sinks to make it look all manly!
