Bandung (Indonesia) - Immediately after the MotoGP tests in Sepang, Marc Marquez and the Repsol Honda team moved to Indonesia for the “Repsol Honda 2019 Indonesia Visit” tour. The event had a huge following with thousands of people attending all the appointments. Indonesia is a country literally crazy for motorcycling; it represents the largest market in the world where six million motorcycles and scooters are sold every year.

In one of the tour's appointments, Honda HRC director Tetsuhiro Kuwata was asked about an opinion on MotoE. His response was: "I think motorcycles with electric motors are a new approach to the world of motorcycle racing. For now the MotoE represents the starting point of this approach. At the moment for us every commitment is premature but we are observing very carefully how this new class will develop "
Also present at the same event was the current MotoGP champion Marc Marquez who confirmed Kuwata-san's words and added that if Honda asked him one day to try an electric race bike, he would not hold back, even if he would find really strange to be on the track on a bike that makes no noise.
