Yamaha Unveils True Hybrid Motorcycle at Tokyo Motor Show - the HV-X

Yet another big announcement from the Tokyo Motor Show - I guess that the motorcycle part of the show IS important to them. Yamaha has announced a hybrid motorcycle which is a true hybrid - the gasoline engine will shut off when the vehicle is stationary, leaving the bike running on electric power. There is a sweet video attached to the site at the other end of the link. Unfortunately, Yamaha has not said when - or if - they will begin production. I sure hope they make a decision soon!
