Default Going Green, the new electric motorcycles...

I don't know if they are ever going to compete with, say a Ducati superbike, but interesting that they have gotten this far. Maybe good learner bikes????

I bet the operating range goes way down after you hook up the sound system required to reproduce the V-Twin exhaust noise.
