Here is an on-line poll by the British magazine Motor Cycle News. They ask if anyone might be interested in buying an electric motorcycle within the next 5 years. The electric motorcycle crowd is loosing at the moment, so you many want to help out the cause:

I voted. The anti-electric comments are typical so far.

I just checked the latest poll numbers and they are 38.5% (795) yes and 61.5% (1271) no. Considering that motorcycle enthusiasts are pretty conservative lot to begin with and electric motorcycles don't have much of a track record in the field, I think those are pretty good numbers.  :)
