A glorious premiere is recorded for Lightning Motorcycles, as their first vehicle meets all the DOT and DMV requirements and is registered.
This brings Lightning one step closer to the production motorcycle launch scheduled for 2014. At the same time, Lightning mentions that all their partners in the supply chain are making revisions and optimizing their workflow in order to support the production next year.
The fairing for the street version of the superbike is also in the final clay modeling stage, Cycle World reports. And in case the final machine looks like the Glynn Kerr image Lightning has been waving around, then we're looking at a true beast.
With a price tag starting at $38,888 (€28,253), the Lightning Superbike is a bit steep. But what did you expect from a bike which can do 218 mph (350 km/h)?
