Someday when we are all drooling in our rocking chairs people are going to say, "I remember lovely single cylinder fossil fuel burning motorcycles that used to pull on the heartstrings of the rider."
The year is 2040 ...
Marketing determines , " ... let's bring back the vibe of the thumper."
Using bots, some rogue nation fashions up an electric propelled, air-cooled single "cylinder" block that actually cools the inverter power electronics. Beneath the seat is a waterproof subwoofer that thrusts out PWM'ed bass sound of a by-gone era gasoline-powered thumper. The kickstarter, although real-feeling, is basically a big switch that starts the subwoofer a gurgling.
The would-be future rider on their "cool" retro thumper motorcycle pulls up curb side to a parked, banned late 20th century HD. HD dude (grandson of the original HD owner) says something to thumper dude. Thumper dude says, "Huh? Wha?". Thumper dude can't hear HD dude. In order to solve this problem, thumper dude pressed the "mute" button on his instrument cluster interface to cancel the vibe of his retro machine. The two riders continue the conservation.
