Mission One Motors have announced that they will not be racing in 2010 due to the ongoing work on getting the Mission One electric motorcycle to market by mid-2011, although they have alluded to the new racing bike that they’re working on;

We look forward to getting back to the track soon. It is our goal to unveil our second generation race bike late this season. In the meantime, we wish all the TTXGP teams and series the very best of luck.

This is perfect timing to get the new racing bike on the track for the 2011 TTXGP season, which of course would help a great deal with promoting sales for the Mission One superbike. They’re taking orders for the bike now, the deposit amount is $5000, and the sales price is $68,995 USD. That sounds like a lot however it is important to remember that this is the fastest electric motorcycle in the world, Mission One set the land speed record in September last year at the Bonneville Sale Flats with a 150 mph run (the rest of the bikes didn’t even come close).

The bike looks like something that Christian Bale would ride around on in his favourite black halloween costume and with an initial production run of only 50 we will probably see these bikes changing hands for more than the sticker price after deliveries begin. I know for a fact that if money was no object, my name would be very near the top of the order list. Scroll down for specifications and a video of the land speed record run courtesy of Mission Motors.
