EVs are more efficient than the low range for the motorcycle. If you charged your EV with a portable gas generator, your efficiency is comparable to an ICE motorcycle. Most grids at this point are quite a bit less CO2 intense than a personal generator. That cuts significantly on the CO2 impact.
The only upside to a motorcycle is the reduced energy requirements for manufacturing. But lifetime, an EV will be the clear winner.
No.

Google tells me powergrid emissions for ecars is 60-200gC/mile.
1 gallon of gas contains 8900gC.
A Honda NC750 gets 70mpg, a Honda wave gets 160.
8900/160=55
8900/70=120
