Heat or head of water drives the turbines. The turbine is the motor.

Technology is such that hybrid motorcycles are viable. Since motorcycles are weight sensitive all electric is not there yet.

Check the weight of the new electric Triumph.

“Heat or head of water drives the turbines. The turbine is the motor.”

First you said a motor drives the turbine, now you say the turbine is the motor. But BOTH are wrong.

The turbine is Not a motor. It is an engine. Thermo 101.

Electric motors have high torque and can handle the weight.

COG is lower for better handling.

No impact on highway. Maybe extra weight gives better stability in wind and smoother riding.

Energy lost in acceleration mostly regained in slowing/braking.
