When they have a reliable 80-mile range and no degradation for 10 years, I'm in. But anyone claiming that we are at that point now is delusional.

How much is an oil change, including oil filter and air filter? How often? How about the exhaust system? What can an owner of a Yamaha expect to spend per year on maintenance and repairs?
I have had a Star for two plus years now. I usually run it most of the week - daily without charging and have never actually run it below half charge. An 80-90 range, say 5 hours, would not surprise me in my experience. No, I have no interest in driving one for an hour to get some place that is a 15-20 minute car ride, The only repair was replacing the turn signal shutoff - under warranty. The only Yamahas that I drove before moving down here permanently either did not have an auto shutoff or it did not work either.
The noisiest part of the Star experience is the tires on the road, unless I turn up the bluetooth music. No smell. No pad under it against oil leaks. No oil or water levels to check. No driving to gas stations for refueling.
As to your comment, you actually have no reported experience or data to back up your "delusional" name calling. Maybe an apology would be in order.
