Electric Motorcycle

What do you think of these new electric motorcycles?

Would you consider buying one of these, if you could afford it?

I think they said it plugs into an ordinary electrical outlet, which sounds good to me.

It does sound good in some ways but given the size of the battery it probably takes alot of electricity to charge it up and that would make a persons electric bill shoot up by a couple of hundred dollars most likely.

More electric use and less gas use is great, but I wouldn't want one. I'd rather have a car.

I'd never buy and electric motorbike. But it is interesting that they're making motorbikes electric now though.

Hm... yeah, the close ups of the bike do look like CG textures you'd see in game art. I think they're real, but they do have that look.
