IMHO this is the wave of the future. In the next few years you'll start seeing more machines like this on the road as battery technology improves.
Who cares what they sound like? I'm done with loud pipes on bikes. If all you ride is 20 miles for an ice cream cone, you can deal with loud. 400-mile days with loud pipes are pretty unpleasant to me.
I have always run drag pipes or straight pipes like now and I ride cross country.400 to 500 miles on a typical day off with straight pipes.
And what's the point of that? Only an 8 year old thinks that's cool.  Everyone else is thinking, "this is why I hate motorcycles."
Come on...really? its not just about the sound, however i prefer a bike to sound like a bike and not a scooter, but i also want better flow of exhaust etc etc. Bikes have run like this since their conception, but only now people whine about the sound? Oh ya, thats right, want to live longer, eat better, get things faster, good grief Charlie brown, soon i won't be able to take a P*ss in the woods without someone telling me to wait another 500 miles.
Get over it. To each their own and then we die.
Well Mike, I'll ONLY say here that a freakin' "piss in woods" doesn't usually GRATE on the nerves and eardrums of those 90% of folks out there who DON'T ride motorsickles....the poor bastards.
(...well, that WOULD BE of course unless when YOU are pissing, the sounds comin' from THAT would exceed, say, 95dB...which I'm kinda doubtin' here that it does)
And while YOU may wish to eat, drink and/or live to excess and/or NOT care about "the quality of life" of those poor bastards, I'VE found that living a life of reasonable moderation can USUALLY go a looooong way toward gettin' along with other folks of ALL stripes...includin' those poor bastard who don't ride motorsickles.
(...and of course that whole "moderation' thing here ALSO goes for how my pipes sound on my bike...NOT too loud, and NOT to soft...In fact, "almost PERFECT"...just like me!) 
Your point is valid....we will agree to disagree and thats my point only.... there is no way in heaven we can please everyone. Ny the way i get along with everyone! I am a nice guy! LOL i just like my bike with bark is all.
I also like my eggs sunny side up
