It's great out with the old in with the new. There will be enough broken big bores around for years to get parts...

Default Electric motorcycle....

Harley has built a motorcycle that sounds like a wing! And with today's electric motor technology, it probably makes more horsepower and torque than a floppin buzzard 110!

If electric can work in a practical manner the power and torque is awesome. I saw electric equivalents of diesel machines in the mines and the power of the electric units was incredible.

I'm old school and I love the classics. I'm fairly young having just turned 30. That being said I'm glad to see Harley comming up with new things. One thing I always wanted to see was a 4 cylinder harley engine put inside a crotch rocket that's AMERICAN MADE. Give those rice burning sport bikes a lesson to learn. We as Americans have always wanted to be the best so why not build a rocket to spank all the honda and kawasaki bikes. Be a lot of kids swapping over to Hd then.
