I'll take mine with 600hp cat diesel motor. They can keep the hydrogen and electric part.

I guess it's the way of the eventual Future!

I'm not sure those are quite ready for prime-time but I'm eyeballing the HDT diesel bikes.

Wow, those diesel KLRs put out some dismal performance...

So much for ideal post apocalyptic transportation.

Thats way cool! I'm a huge diesel nut and would love to have one! I wonder why it's IDI though?

Here's a few tiny (and even fold-up) electric scooters to add to the mix

I remember reading of a hydrogen-cell powered motorcycle manufactured in the UK that was supposed to go on sale to the public in fall of 2007. I'm still waiting. It was a little pricey, but not unreasonable. Nice looking too. They were expecting eco-aware teens to flock to it rather than buy a fossil fuel powered bike. What happened? Did GM, Ford or ExxonMobil buy the patent and bury it like they've done so many times in the past?
