If they will be able to build an elctronic motorbike - same dimension as TBird - same comfort & ergonomics - same reach (miles/km) - that means > 300 km at > 100 km/h fully loaded for holiday trips - same pricing - same build quality
then I may consider buying it. But I doubt they will ever be able to....
