Thanks for posting the link for the comparison.  I also read the comments section and unfortunately the majority of the statements were very negative towards electric motorcycles in general.  I doubt that many of the people making these critical comments have any experience with electric motorcycles.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case with most electric motorcycle reviews that I have seen.  It would appear the ICE motorcycle enthusiasts are going to be dragged kicking and screaming into the electrical-power age.

I agree completely.  I'm confident that when the battery technology improves to the point where an electric motorcycle has the same or better range than an ICE bike the majority opinion will still be negative.  Specifically in the United States.  Fortunately, other countries seem to be a little more accepting of change.
