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

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.

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
