Here is the latest from Honda and Yamaha regarding their electric motorcycle concepts. While the Honda sport bike looks as good as it did in Milan, there is no indication that it will be put into production.  The best Yamaha can come up with are a couple of electric bicycles. It looks like Japan is just not with the electric motorcycle program.  I guess they don't see enough potential sales volume to interest them at this time.

No word (that I have seen) yet if Kawasaki is thinking about electrics and I think we can assume that Suzuki is barely able to afford new graphics on their future models.

Here is a link to more photos of the RC-E, including a slide show. No photos of the motor or battery systems, though.
