... and those are probably in the 500 ccm-class.
Nothing to compare with a Thunderbird!
If they will be able to build an elctronic motorbike
- same dimension as TBird
- same comfort & ergonomics
- same reach (miles/km) - that means > 300 km at > 100 km/h fully loaded for holiday trips
- same pricing
- same build quality
then I may consider buying it.
But I doubt they will ever be able to....
