> When will there be a hybrid motorcycle on the market?
No. The weight of the engine, motor, and batteries would
a) make it too bulky
b) weigh too much
So forget the hybrid motorcycle. Instead -- wait for it --
The fully electric motorcycle! I've seen one of these about a decade ago, and Los Angeles Times reported on another a couple of weeks ago.

Most cycles get 75-80 mpg anyway so the cost of adding a battery and charging system isn't necessary.

There won't be one.
Hybrid's require battery packs for the electric operation. The battery packs are bulky and heavy. Too bulky and heavy to put in a motorcycle frame.

This isn't really an answer to your question, but it may interest you just the same.
Check out this bike: http://www.killacycle.com/
Maybe this is the forerunner of something we will be able to buy someday.
