hub-steering for moto2?

I'd love to see someone finally make hub-steer bikes become mainstream.  Perhaps
success on the racetrack will translate into real improvements in streetbikes.

I expect it'll end up falling to whoever successfully makes electric bikes to
bring systems like this to the mass market, as they're not as constrained by
conventions.  In fact, I wonder if this might work better for them, simply
because the battery/motor combination is more flexible in its
packaging/positioning.
