Am sure it would be hard, or impossible, for an aged die hard gasoline powered motorcycle enthusiast to switch to
a electric one. The sound, the vibration, the smell of a powerful gasoline  motorcycle is irreplaceable. And
is it a cost effective substitution yet? Maybe not just yet. But i don't know. Anybody has experience with the
new kid on the block, the electric motorcycle? ???

Not me, I still fire this thing up on a regular basis just so I can hear the sound and smell the fumes of a two stroke  :)  I don't ride it much these days though, I should do! It wheelies in every gear  :)

The seats comfy too  ;)

I guess air filter is optional...Wonder if they had high hopes
with this prototype? Anyhow, this prototype looks better than
some black and chrome finished products in the show room... :whistle:

Looks like a two stroke triple 750 GT.
But yes, Moto Martin has some nice ones, and this could be one.
A jewel, never the less....
