... do we actually have "cool looking motorcycles", especially compared what was already available 20 or even 30 years ago?
-
I mean... Yeah, kind of?
That's a BMW ce 04. I guess it counts more as an electric scooter, but as there's no empty space between your feet I guess it's somewhere in between.
-
All those cycles are OK, but they don't compare to the light cycles in Tron. Or even Kaneda's bike in Akira. C'mon corporate dystopia, you can do better...
-
Pedantic nitpick: TRON light cycles aren't future bikes. They're computer bikes that don't exist in the real world of the movie.

The new Honda E Motorcycle is simultaneously design to look like it came from 1980 and 2080.
-
How does the white one look old-fashioned and yet is exact same design?
-
Everyone knows the classic CHiPs style police bike from TV and movies. The white front fender and gas tank kind of evokes that memory.

-
Kinda yeah. Thats a Zero XB
-
Huh, that's kinda neat. Though IDK if that really has the visual impact that people associate with cyberpunk ...
-
The sound and absurd acceleration make up for it :)
There is also the Zero SR/S and that thing does 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds and 0-160km/h in 6 seconds. Tops out at almost 200km/h
-
There's also the Bat Pod
-
That thing would be a blast until you had to turn.
-
-
I mean here’s a Kawasaki Ninja from 1990, motorcycles have looked cool for a loooong time
-
Yeah but its not electric and makes a bunch of loud annoying noise.
-
The noise is one of the best parts about ICE vehicles though.
-
*worst
-
-
-
are we sure its not a ryobi
-
-
Now that is a sick motorcycle sound!
-
Most ICE sports bike for the last 20-30 years have easily been able to do those acceleration times. Ie 1998 R1 0-60mph (97km/h) 2.96 s. 0-100mph(160k) 5.93s top speed 168/270k {MC Consumer news via wikipedia)
Which is not to say the zero isn't a cool bike but EV bikes struggle to match ICE, unlike cars where they absolutely toast ICE

Yeah, he should have said mad max looking trucks. Because that's where we actually are with this nightmare.
-
Yeah... Haven't motorcycles always looked cool?
-
Yeah, but you can't just roll in on a Harley when it's a cyberpunk dystopia.
