I would go for it...... if they made one that THUMPED, and said BRAAAAAAAP and made real bike noises that bikes have been making since the beginning of time.

I was reading someting in Car and Driver magazine about using hydrogen as an alternate fuel, and it turned out if all motorcycles and cars in the world were turned to hydrogen as a fuel source our carbon emmisions would double, making it twice as bad for the enviroment. it is also dificult to seperate hydrogen from other elements, which would exghaust more resources. I guess we would never run out of it though, seeing as it's the most plentifyl element in the world and all.
Vroom-Vroom Good.

The magazine is, well, wrong. They assume we would burn fossil fuels to pull the hydrogen from water. It can be done easily with solar energy. And on an individual household basis (a solar panel and a hydrogen generator), it is very efficient. There would be no carbon emission. The only emission from burning hydrogen as a combustable material is water (once some of it combines back with oxygen).

I'd personally like to rig up a bike to run on hydrogen like on that website! It will still burn as a combustable gas, so it should still sound nice 
It would have to be an EFI fuel system though, and I dont have a bike with one of those. It would be perfect for me to be able to fill up at home. But until there are hydrogen fueling stations, that definitely limits the trip distance.
