We don't usually try to justify our habit on a spread sheet. But, when the issue is electric motorcycles, all of a sudden the talk turns to practicality, efficiency and repercussions. All of a sudden, the spreadsheet comes out and someone declares the genre illegitimate.

Agree 100%.

There's a practicality and financial argument to be made for EVs (as well as a national-level energy and security policy argument), but it requires a whole slew of assumptions and forward predictions. If practicality and financial were the only things important to us, we'd either be daily commuters on scooters or never swing a leg over a motorcycle.

As the article states, it's a different type of experience. I love it. So I bought one, when they worked for me.
