Aw Breeze, the only reason you don't like electric bikes is cause loud pipes won't be on them. ;D

+1 right here. I'm glad I'll be dead when the soulless, emasculating, silent appliances dominate the roadways.

I'm not saying there's no place for the little PC machines but as they say... if I have to explain you wouldn't get it anyway.

i remember waaay back in the 70's (you kids probably wouldn't remember ;D) among the concerns about smog and polluting of our waters, was noise pollution. seems that's all but forgotten now.

Exhaust baffle is that phenomenon caused by the sound of the guy racing you bouncing off the car you just passed and hitting the back of your ear... causing an ill effect of him "sounding" like he's right next to you.

Something Yamaha riders wouldn't ever hear.  :P

I'll Have to test that theory. Can Exhaust Baffles also cause spontaneous honking and siren noises coming from parked cars?

Damn straight...

Even optical illusions in your mirrors. Or illusioned mirrors as well. I don't have mirrors on my GPZ and somehow I noticed the cops getting smaller and smaller lol.

Batteries weigh a ton because we're still using the same battery technology we had in 1910.
Most progressive battery co,--Ovonics--owned by GM--and they're not going to try too hard !
