Title: Is this what will be collectable....
Post by: mx250 on April 09, 2010, 07:56:00 am

.......and considered 'ground breaking' in 20-30 years time?

They are already starting to improve. When will organised competition events start? - the road racers have started at the Isle of Man. Should I buy one and pack it away as a collectable for the future?

There already has been an electric enduro run about the time of the copenhagen climate change talks which had some pretty big names competing in it.
