Title: A Yamaha electric trials bike?
Post by: Richard230 on March 21, 2018, 04:12:48 AM

Motorcycle.com thinks so: http://www.motorcycle.com/mini-features/yamaha-trademarks-ty-e-possibly-for-a-new-electric-trial-bike.html

But you will note that the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers seem to be staying away from high-volume street-legal electric motorcycles, instead focusing their marketing on low-volume off-road motorcycles, or in the case of Honda, electric motorcycles that follow you around at slow speed like a lonely puppy dog.  ::)
