Racing events in the motorcycle circles are a world of their own . Here , clichés are served up in equal measure : Long hair , black leather , crazy beards , hard beats , and above all the sound of engines , whether screeching and highly tuned from Japan or throaty booming from the USA . Above all , there is a mixture of oil , gasoline , rubber , and grilled sausage .

This is because in 2019 , a completely new motorcycle category was launched in the top class of racing , the Motorcycle Grand Prix : the MotoE . These are also fast as an arrow and strong as an ox .
