Sounds funny but nice specs.

What a sickening "noise". Well if this is the future, count me out.

@johneleven25

Well you do know that the quieter the machine is, the more efficient it is,

@Charles2337 Motorcycling is not about that. It's about the feeling factor. The growling of the exhaust, the smell of the fumes, the whole lot. In today's world everything is getting weird, artificial and stupid. Not for me.

Motorcycles are a form of transportation. Period.

What your saying is like what people in the past complained about the feel of a car compared to a horse. You don't have the connection you would have with the animal... lol Or the warmth of the creature lool

Technology improves, we just have to deal with it. Personally I hate the loud engine and smell of exhaust fumes. But that's just me.

ICE have limits, its old tech. This is the future.

No matter how much you tweak a ICE, it cannot reach speeds of over 350 km/h without extremely expensive and inefficient parts. You have pistons to worry about, compression, octane of your fuel etc etc.

With electric technology, the only thing that is holding you back is the amount of energy in your batteries. I can see cars in the future reaching speeds of 400 km/h with ease. You cant do that with ICE's.
