Harley-Davidson appears to be just a day away from unveiling an electric motorcycle, and it's teasing the new bike on YouTube. No more "Loud Pipes Save Lives"? Unveiled!! http://news.yahoo.com/harley-davidson-introduces-electric-motorcycle-115943100.html |

The batteries will leak and the out of balance motor will shake random parts off the bike.

Wont work out because the wannabee bikers cant rev the motor 2,000 times at every stoplight.

Like anything else Harley it will come in overweight and every single component fixed to the bike will under perform its contemporaries.
Hordes of mid-life crisis men will flock to bike, and every Weekend they will lace up their moccasins pull up their thigh high khakis and hit the slab to pose among the finest pirates this side of the Atlantic. A lot of merchandise will be purchased, resale value will be lost, and hopefully it's not coloring books for daddy's Christmas when he eats shit

It will have speakers and a motor soundtrack Will it leak electrolytes? It's what plants crave! Let's see, Wooden brakes? Leaks oil? Vibrates? Makes a shit ton of noise? Bad handling? Over weight? Every piece in it chromed? Over priced? Under performs? If any of these are checked it could be a electric harley. |

So now you will have to not only keep a pan under it but one with battery acid kill solution in it.

I don't currently own a bike; I guess I would ride a Harley if you gave me one.. But an ELECTRIC FUCKING HARLEY DAVIDSON????!!! Are you fucking kidding me? That would be equivalent to Glock coming out with a fucking single action revolver!!! Goddamned blasphemy is what this is.

It will come with a soundtrack.
It's amazing you can trademark a sound. |

I would like to ride one. And considering I've been working in H-D dealerships for 25 years, I may get the chance. I thought it looked like a Buell/Rocker hybrid.

That's from the set of the next Avengers / Captain America movie. I think electric bikes would be great for commuting and short trip get-just-your-ass-from-point-A-to-point-B work... but being HD, it will be overly heavy and expensive. It'll be a novelty, not a realistic bike that people can and want to own. |

I'm find this to be extremely shocking. Seriously, of all major motorcycle companies to mass produce the first electric motorcycle, Harley?

Death trap. Everyone knows loud pipes save lives. The death rate on this will be near 100%.
