Why? It looks like Streethawk and that's not a good thing. Also quiet = dangerous. Pile of b*llocks.

Only 22 but my GF says thats old

I blame the yanks for the oil running out they use the most in the world but only produse a small percentge of their consumption. whereas we (the brits) use mostly our (scottish ) oil and import a lesser persentge. I think? I might be completely wrong so just correct me and shoot me

We had an extensive debate about the state of the worlds oil supply and its future a little while ago. I seem to remember the net opinion was that while oil will become expensive to the degree that we won't be able to afford not to move to alternative fuels, it won't run out. It's not going to happen in the immediately forseeable future and us the average consumer can't do jack about it anyway.

The only way changes will happen will be when it makes financial and economic sense for the oil companies and the US respectively to make them happen. If they don't stand to profit, they won't bother, no matter the moral cost, money is what rules. There's another interesting thread with an associated article on how the US and the UK to a slightly lesser degree is heading rapidly into bankruptcy.

If they could produce that bike so that it wouldn't cost any more to buy and run than a conventional middle range IC engined bike, and if they produced it with equivalent performance to a decent sportsbike, I'd happily buy one. Having no noise but that from the wind, tyres and electric motor would be rather fun.

They find new oil all the time, , plus they havent pulled all the oil they can out of different wells because they havent the technology to do so yet, weve still got petrol for a few years yet

They have started to pump water into the oil reserves to get the oil out because the oil is not coming out under its natural pressure. The oil will last from 10 years to 30 years because of China's rapid growth and everybody in China wants a car. I believe their is about 300 million people in China?
