Are they going to use speakers to fake their trademarked sound? And with fewer moving parts will they still manage to break down all the time?

The Sportster “Forty-Eight” with the peanut tank only has an 80 mile range. But at least you can refill it quickly. Not a practical bike, but it looks kind of cool.

The biggest problem Harley has is how good and long lasting its motorcycles are.

Two of my Wife’s male siblings and their wives have/owned the same Harley’s, (4), for at least a decade and a half.

The Harley’s are like my wife’s well over a decade Lexus LS 300E. Their Harley’s and her Lexus still look great and still do an excellent job.

One of younger heirs got my 1996 OJ Simpson Bronco, 10 plus years ago. He was recently told by his Ford service manager, to keep changing the oil, buying new batteries and tires for another 10 years.

How are dogs like Harleys? They both love riding in the back of pickups.

Yeah, BMW will probably go full dork, just like Chevy did with its cool Batman styled Volt concept, and push out shapeless turd at the other end.

This is great news! Does this mean that I won’t be able to the Harley being driven over in the next county?

You’ve never seen a motorcycle with a V-10 in it before?

Operational concept bike, never sold through Dodge, but Niemann-Marcus sold nine for $550,000 each. Very searchable. Not officially sanctioned for driving (lawsuit fears).

Anybody who’s watched the Isle of Man Time Trials knows that there is an entire division for electric bikes, TT Zero.
