Re: Poll: CIM vs. Bike Motor?

If I'm not mistaken the information we have seen so far shows the new bike motors have less power than the "old reliable" CIMs. Include the significant weight penalty and I can't see a use for the new motors ... I guess if you need more power than the FP and your CIMs are committed elsewhere ...
