If the range matched my commuting needs, had good performance (I'm not talking Busa performance, say Ninja 250ish.) and was more reasonable on price then yes. As mentioned you can get a used Busa for half the $12K sticker and that $6K saved will pay for a lot of gas even at $4+ a gallon. By the dirty math I just tossed on my calculator 60,000 miles worth. Considering the stated life expectancy of batteries (Hybrids, haven't looked at pure electrics.) is around 100K and is not cheap to replace you're money ahead to just stick to gas right now. Plus you run out for whatever reason you stop, get more gas, keep riding. Pure electric if you need to run an extra errand or miscalculate your range you're stuck until you can let it sit and recharge or tow it home. That alone is the biggest issue with electric, there's no reasonable fallback plan if you run out of electrons.
EDIT-At four miles to work I'd put money on a nice bicycle long before an electric motorcycle especially at $12K. Even in my worse than out of shape state I can average 8MPH overall riding my bike and pull 13MPH cruising on a flat with a mountain bike. Seems far more feasible to me unless there's no bicycle friendly way to go.
