Just a thought ... EBR should hire Carlin Dunne to ride the 1190RX in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. He won it last year on an electric bike and the year before on a Ducati Multistrada.

I just found a video of Wes Orlof riding a EBR on the climb last year ... he low sided and got right up again and kept going:

Great video. Sad to see it all paved. I rode it the week after the Grand Prix in 2007. It was early morning and nobody was there but me. I was flogging the Uly for all it was worth! What a hoot! The dirt part was even more fun! What a rush. I rode it many years ago on an Electra Glide Sport. Passed 11 cars in the final straight before the finish line. There was 4" of snow at that point and the Glide was shooting a rooster tail across the line!!

Sorry, but that video brought back some excellent memories! I loved the amount of acceleration out of the corners! Very cool.
