Good news for those green minded motorcycle enthusiasts.  Zero Motorcycles has released a full electric motorcycle for the street.  The Zero S packages a 4 kWh patent pending lithium ion array power source that is the smallest and lightest in the industry, it uses standard 110V or 220V input to charge in less than 4 hours and has a range of up to 60 miles.  At a cost of $9950 USD it is placed in the price range of the Yamaha YZF-R6(S), but at a cost to recharge of less than $.01 per km it is certainly a worthwhile alternative to the 5.9 L/100km that you will get from the YZF-R6.
