Feast Your Eyes on the Damon HyperFighter Electric Motorcycle

Damon Motorcycles has a new model. Well, a couple of models. The Damon HyperFighter Colossus and the HyperFighter Unlimited were revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

EVs make sense as peppy commuters, and Vespa the perfect scooter in the Elettrica.
