Summer is coming in hot, and the impending heat is set to once again break the prior year’s record-breaking temperatures....

For dual sport / trail bikes, electric motorcycles get about 70 mile real world range if you're lucky. A gasoline powered bike can get three times that, easy. But I love how quiet electric bikes are, great for trail riding.
I have a CRF300L with the factory pipe. It's nice and quiet and does about 200km on a tank.
Still, a silent bike would be amazing. If the charging speed was sub 10 minutes I would buy one.
It is a safe assumption that if you notice engine noise on anything made since 1960 either the muffler has worn out, or someone has replaced it with something loud.

Uh... have you heard any Harley, ever? No, they're not obnoxiously loud like the shitbags can make them, but they're not quiet by any means.
The new ones are quiet enough that you won't notice them in the rest of traffic. Of course almost all of them are modified to be illegally loud.
