I too would like to see an LED light stock. As the bikes go further on a charge, it actually makes more sense than it did before. When the range was short, the run time wasn't long enough to have any noticeable impact. And it isn't highway travel you will see a difference. It's slow city riding. Because its a factor of time. For 200 miles city riding at 35 mph, that's 6 hours of riding you can do now with a power tank. (I've actually gone 237 miles on a single charge on my 2015 around the Bay Area on beach frontal surface streets)
6 hours of a headlight using 30 watts instead of 60 watts saves 30 watts. Over 6 hours that is 180 watt hours. At slow speeds getting 60 watt hours per mile that is actually 3 miles!! So instead of 200 miles range you would have 203 miles range!
However with the highway scenario of going 70 mph for 70 miles, or 1 hour of travel you would save 30 watt hours with an LED headlight. At those speeds you are getting about 120 watt hours per mile. 30 watt hours would get you another 1/4 mile, or instead of 70 miles, you could go 70.25 miles.
Is that worth it? I think so at this point. Plus it is the coolness factor that is important. A high end bike should have LED lights. And for certain an electric motorcycle should. But who knows if it will come for 2017 or not. We have about 3 weeks to go to find out. If it doesn't happen, remember you can always buy a $35 bulb from Amazon and replace it yourself of you want that extra quarter mile of range!
