Kawasaki is in the process of developing a hydrogen-powered motorcycle. So far they have given it a tail section that holds the H2 fuel tanks that only its mother could love. I think I will stick to electric as a Zero-emission motorcycle. But I give Kawasaki credit for trying a different type of gas bike:  https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/news/kawasaki-hydrogen-prototype-makes-public-debut-44605393

Kawasaki Hydrogen Engine Motorcycle

The hydrogen ICE motorcycle was designed and built as part of research that began in March 2023, with test runs starting this year, culminating in this public demonstration run. Mounted in the machine is a hydrogen engine based on the 998 cm3 In-Line Four Supercharged Engine found in Kawasaki’s Ninja H2 motorcycle, with modifications made to allow direct injection of hydrogen fuel into the cylinders. The motorcycle’s chassis was designed to accommodate hydrogen fuel canisters and a hydrogen fuel supply system on-board.
A trifecta of Pre-Unit Bullets: a Red Deluxe 500, a Green Standard 500, and a Black ES 350.
