I think saying things like "just can't compete" is clickbait and not a very realistic perspective on the situation.
Electric motorcycles have advantages and disadvantages when compared to gas motorcycles. There are tradeoffs with either choice. Yes, electrics are cooler but you give up significant range. Electric are quiet but some want loud pipes to save their lives. And so on.
Framing the debate as in this headline encourages extremes and absolutes and screaming matches which I do not find helpful.
