Gas is 2 bucks a gal here and dropping.
The frackers are making the e-drive proposition a pretty lame one right now.

What good is a motorcycle you can’t hear rev up?

I bought this bike (not this exact one), a BMW R1200GS Adventure. As equipped it gets 50 MPG +/-. At 55 MPH it gets 60 MPG. With a 7.9 gallon tank it goes 350 miles easy. Electric thingamabobs are just not of any interest.

Four hours of charging to drive one hour...they might sell two unless the government steps in.

My 650 nighthawk gets around 45 unless I’m ripping around town.

They raced some Victory electric bikes at the Isle of Man TT this year, racers were able to average over 100mph for a 37 mile lap. I don’t recall if they did more than one lap, though.

I watched the vid. Wherever that was, they sure have a lot of fire extinguishers sitting around.

I caught a bit of the Isle of Man TT racing this year on cable, and the segment I happened to watch was for electric only bikes. They seemed to keep pace with their IC brethren.

You have to make the motorcycle noises with your mouth.

The only type of electric vehicle I would consider at this point.

They also annoy a lot of people.

Anyone that wants to go one hundred and ten miles an hour on a motor cycle will eventually remove themselves from the gene pool. Not like they were in the deep end to begin with.

Excellent point. Most people [mistakenly] think motorcycles are loud just to be annoying. Though there are some who overdo it.

It would work well in Southeast Asia where 240 is standard.

Been 160 in a car a bunch and 140 on a few bikes....you wanna live forever?
Of course I was doing this where the road had restricted access and you could see a could miles down the road clearly...
You are more likely to get flat out run over doing 35 by a careless driver than die in a high speed run.
Been riding 37 years.
My Favorite bike was a Buell ST3 but the close second was my KZ 1300 powered by an inline 6 cylinder.
