Lotus just announced the start of their motorcycle division and the release of their first bike.

What do you think? Does the domain have any value for a information website or dealership?

Very less commercial value and if you cross any line of being more than a fan site. Get ready to be named as a name squatter.

Was thinking this domain to be suited for a official dealer of lotus motorcycles, in which case, no trademark infringement problems.

No you can't do that. It is again name squatting. Except for a fan site anything else is a strict no no. Even running advertisements of Lotus cars or bike is not OK. Nothing commercial where Lotus holds trademark.

Only a fan site with no ads of lotus products. Which means negative value of holding such a name. Bad faith is already there because you regged it today and Lotus is holding TM for last so many years.

Best would be to delete such a name before being labelled a name squatter.
