The bike was very competitive in its lone Japan MX outing so not sure if Honda wants to avoid direct comparison with ICE or if more Japan wildcards are in order? I would love to see it race in other series against more established bikes and riders... though it might be tricky to be allowed racing a prototype with no production bike in sight?

Still it's good to see this bike getting some development and it's probably a good sign regarding its eventual transition into a production bike in the coming years.

The bike certainly looks fast and I can certainly see a market for these Electric bikes, but I imagine a gate full of these things at a AMA Pro Supercross or Motocross race and I'd have interest for about 10 seconds and I'd be off to see if there was a local amateur race with a bunch of 2 and 4 strokes racing.  Can't get over the sound of that Electric motor in a dirt bike and these would KILL! the AMA Supercross series if the gates were full of Electric bikes. 

They could turn down the volume of annoucers and music a bit and you could have a conversation with your friends like any other sports event, I see myself getting used to it on a while. Right now people are complaining about loud speaker sound in SX witch is quite louder than engine noise.
