I would reread the comment you’re replying to. No one is claiming to sit on a bike for 4 hours straight.
Many motorcyclists use their bikes for road trips and joyrides. It’s very common to ride for 1.5-2.5 hours non stop between breaks to stretch ones legs.
Road trips are out of the question on an electric motorcycle even if you have a bike that supports fast charging and you live in an area with many fast chargers. With an electric car, you can chill inside a climate controlled cabin while it takes 20ish minutes to charge. There is no such luxury on a bike. Sustained highway speeds drain the battery as there is no gearing. You would need to stop for a 20-30 minute recharge every hour, which is not feasible.
Also if you’re travelling over 60km/h, wind noise drowns out engine noise. And engine noise on modern motorcycles is very quiet. You might be imagining Harley Davidson bikes with the exhaust baffles drilled out and then applying that to all motorcycles. Exceptionally lazy heuristic.
“no such luxury on a bike” - let me make this clear: a “1.5-2.5 hours non stop bike ride” to nowhere is a luxury, exceptionally lazy luxury. I would reread the post you’re replying to.
