Motorcycles have no real chance at regenerative braking

They do, but it has to come from the front wheel. An electric generator would be heavy and add significant unsprung weight.

KTM experimented with a 2wd dirt bike. It used hydraulic lines to transfer energy to the front wheel. A similar system could be used for regenerative braking.
