We're in the middle of the electric vehicle revolution. It's a little painful, especially for those who don't like change, which is most of us. Charging infrastructure is evolving, battery tech is getting better every year. Currently we're nowhere near for the e-bikes to compete with the gas bikes in terms of range and touring capabilities, but it will get there.
I am going to say not to worry about the motorcycling future-everything is going to be ok. Your precious V4s are going to be obsolete with any other gas-powered engine. Some are going to cry big tears about it, and I get it. Know that the future kids are going to look at our "modern" bikes some day and think the same way we currently thinking of the horse and a buggy (I'm sure people back then appreciated the smell of the horse shit).
All I can say is embrace the future. I don't think electric vehicles are going to solve our environmental issues but I am very positive they will become better tools than gas-powered ones.
