Kawasaki Hybrid

Which is completely valid if that's your jam. I was just having a tough time seeing much else there.

It just seems like you have to talk yourself into buying it.

I pretty much have to talk myself into buying anything. Can I afford it? Will this make me happy? things like that.

I think most of the buyers are flying to support the technology more than anything else. On paper there are tons of bikes that are better and for cheaper. Even at discount most royal Enfields and cf motos rate better and for less money. Clutchless is the only thing that stand out but Honda is way more into that now. For less money

The things that stand out to me is EV-mode and acceleration rivalling a leader bike in a city setting. I don't know of a RE or CF Moto that compare. But again, I'd only buy this hybrid if I can get it for what should be similar pricing.

As I understand it rapid acceleration is temporary. You hit a button and you get 3 seconds of boost then it goes back to being fairly slow. Slower than a cfmoto 450.

I had to look it up and you're close... 5 seconds of boost. But once the boost is over you're already exceeding the speed limit and not looking for more speed (in the city). And I wouldn't say the 450ss is cheaper, it's almost identical to the discounted price of the hybrid, around here at least.
