An environmentally friendly alternative to a 125 which is already better for the environment than 99.9% of cars. It'd get me to work and back which is good.

Read this, but I gotta say I'd miss the engine noise... And a fake one just wouldn't cut it. You'd feel like a prat.

I suppose the time will come when we are all riding something like this though...

I couldn't beleive the anti noise people though...

For their part, manufacturers said the fake engine noise device, which could be switched off, would help alert road users.

Isn't that what a horn is for?

But anti-noise campaigners said they welcomed the prospect of a motorbike without the usual excruciating roar.
