    In the power to weight ratio, you’re forgetting that the rider’s weight is significant on a motorcycle but negligible in a car.

        My motorcycle is 330lbs and has 20hp, and with my weight it has about the power to weight ratio of a Prius. It has a slower 0-60 and 2/3 the top speed of a Prius. However, it’s a lot more fun and even gets better mpg!

          Absolutely. I am hoping to end my bike hiatus sooner than later but, really at this point am looking so electric trials/dual-sport (no more highway, was my agreement with my spouse). Having that kind of fun capacity and quiet would be amazing. My major issue at the moment would be a good way to avoid getting stranded, if the battery runs out.
