Harley E Bike.....not here yet, but soon, maybe.

Harley-Davidson introduces electric motorcycle

If Hawg Riders are going to buy them, they will need obnoxiously loud pipes.......guess they will need electronic noise generators.

Baseball cards held in the spokes by clothes-pins, and extension cords at biker bars. On the other hand, they may have more range than the current tiny-tank Harleys.

It's gonna be a lot harder to piss off the neighbors with one of those.

This might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrZ5M8ezpgk

Who are they kidding? They don't make sport bikes. Had Buell and sold it back!

Electric sport bikes are Not selling.

I guess the are trying to look "modern".

I've always thought Harleys are about that V twin music

It looks really cool. If they can figure out a way to give riders a long range, I'm in.

I learned to ride on an R75/5, moved to a K100RS, dabled with a CBR100RR and have been riding a VRod since 2003. My misconception of what a Harley can and cannot do was big. My VRod is a very nice and fast bike. Is like saying that 944's are great handling superbly balanced cars; hold on, they are!
