In the future I reckon it'll be commonplace to order a new motorbike and have it spec'd to personal choice at the production line.  Just like cars. 
Electric bikes will happen, and once they are affordable to the masses, it might be just what we need to get a new generation onto PTW.  Especially if manufacturers grasp that fact and see electric bikes as a blank sheet for exciting designs.
Us old fogies and the traditional i/c engined motorcycle are old news.  If I was 20 and went to a bike meeting, I'd see bellies, baldies and wrinklies.  I'd turn straight round and look elsewhere for my kicks.

Welp, I'm late to this topic but here's my 2 cents. In 10 years it will not be possible to buy a gasoline powered motorcycle.

You REALLY think this?

Not without a full on devastating WWIII.

I just cannot see the tech and infrastructure changing THAT fast.

Hell, we've been hearing the air-cooled motor was dead for longer than that.

10 years is a remarkably short time for new technology development.  :smiley: Just a model change will be on the boards (monitors, now) for 4 years.

Hard to X out combustion engines when gas is getting cheaper.  Seems OPEC is trying to bust the other producers out of competition.

Isn't it amazing?  Taking inflation into account, we have gasoline at about 1970s prices now.
