I've driven few bikes over the years, electric bikes really are not that much different in terms of fun. Handling is a little different because of the weight of the battery and where it is placed, but that is about it. ICE is coming to end, in the near future they be whole generation who have never experience ICE and would become electric enthusiast where they gush over amount of volts. One thing though, we should banned the cruise liner. I just thought I'd throw that out randomly.
but even the cleanest ICE bike is dirtier than any ICE car, because standards aren't the same.

It shows.Ohhh, you were talking about insurance. I know for my bike its ~$350/year and a ~$50 registration fee. When I enquired about the KLR650, that would have been ~$650/year for insurance. I have no idea what the crotch rocketeers are paying but it seems here your driving record counts way more than the CCs of the bike.

For one year. You still need to buy private insurance for material / liability.
Jesus. My TW200 is about 150.00/yr, plates and insurance (which is why it sits unused in a corner of my garage, but I digress)
