I dread that day.
The noise and even the smell is a huge part of what gives MotoGP its atmosphere...the sound of ultra exotic machinery. Ever heard a YZR-M1 exit pit lane...? THAT SOUND!! I want it played at my funeral lol.
Or the sound of an RC213V at full chat going from 6th gear to 1st in the space of a few seconds...
All the bikes sound like they're barely managing to contain 300 bhp of voilence and drama.
Electric twist and go bikes that sound like sewing machines just can't compete.
Who cares how supposedly efficient they are? (A vast amount electricity is made by burning coal remember.)
Who cares even if they can outperform an internal combustion engine?....though that seem a long way off.
I've tried watching it, and was left completely underwhelmed.
When the internal combustion engine is a museum piece MotoGP will be confined to history.

They said that when the 2 strokes went away, and then the performance of the 4 strokes took the sport to a whole new level. The electric prototypes might not be there yet, but they will be soon... question is which rider will be the first to beat a motogp lap record on an electric bike???
