It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Not bad. I'd ride either of those. I wonder about speed, range and charge times, but all in all am looking forward to quiet bikes. Are any of the e-bikes using generative brakes? How's the acceleration? There's a lot of potential, but it's not going to be an easy sell to motorcyclists that are very performance minded and ate up the ' loud pipes save lives ' horseshit that boomers on Harleys spewed as absolute truth for so long that the squids adopted it.
Squids?
"Squid" refers to people who blast down the highway on sportbikes while wearing their favorite protective gear: shorts, sandals, sunglasses. Maybe a t shirt if they are feeling fancy.
I used to hang out with some guys who rode dual sports, and every one of them had some kind of loud exhaust on them. I remember also them finding out I had a harely, and them being confused when it was neither loud, or covered in chrome.
