An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

It's true. But a v-twin motorcycle like a Ducati or Moto Guzzi ignites your balls like no electric motor can.
I have been looking for new exciting and safe ways to ignite my balls
I mean, I wouldn't call riding a motorcycle "safe".
I'm not even arguing against them, it just feels like calling it "safe" makes it easy to dismiss all the safety precautions you should take and safety gear you should use whenever you do ride one.
Someone once referred to motorcyclists (specifically the ones without helmets or leathers) as "meat crayons" in front of me and I can never get it out of my head.
Well that's ... descriptive.
In the medical industry they refer to motorcycles as "donorcycles", since, in the event of a fatality you can usually still salvage at least one or two organs from the corpse.
That said, I own a motorcycle myself. :)
Inside the motorcycle community, there are two polar opposites: ATGATT (All the gear, all the time), who always brace for the worst and wear the heaviest gear they can find and SQuIDs (Super quick, immediately dead) who go at full speed wearing shorts and sandals. Pick your side.
I said "ignite your balls", it's got nothing to do with safety.
You've got to take a spin on an old naked bmw k100. Not only igniting balls, but also your thighs and lower abdomen!
And they can make you pee blood too on a good day......( Don't ask)
What?
This is the true valid complaint against electric. Electric vehicles are super boring to drive, even when they have insanely good performance.
It is not just the lack of noise and vibration. Too consistent maybe? It is like going fast in a video game. Something is just missing in an EV.
I always found it interesting that Rolls-Royce had to let vibrations and noise in the back of their cars. Moving in a car without identifiers really trips with the brain.
Welcome to downvote city, where every comment that brings forth negative aspects of EVs are downvoted!
I agree btw.
