Well Harley-Davidson has gone Green and will start selling a Electric Powered Motorcycle.

It will go a whopping 110 miles on a full charge and sell for approximately $30,000. Who is in for one?

I personally think they are making a huge mistake going this route. 110 Miles on a charge is not very far compared to the gasoline engine that will give you several hundred miles on a tank.

For that kind of money it's just too expensive and I predict a flop. Any comments?????????????

If I had $30K in disposable income I would get my order in tomorrow!

I guess I’m the lone contrarian on this thread.

Guess buyers will have to put baseball cards in the spokes. They should turn in their man cards for doing this.

That's the typical range on one tank for most bikes.

Harley as a company is dead. They need the “next big thing”. I’m not sure this is it.

They didn’t move when they should have — like many companies in the corporate graveyard. Their customers became old and fickle. Those folks would ride for a short while and sell their bikes, creating a huge aftermarket bike glut which slammed their new bike sales. Trump gave them crap for opening plants overseas, but in reality, Harley’s only salvation is in the foreign markets right now.

Unless, of course, they find that “next big thing”...

The most popular Harleys (other than the touring bikes,) didn't have fuel tank capacities that would give you many more miles than that.

On the other hand, long poker runs, especially going through rural towns could be a lot scarier, when you have to wonder if you'll be able to find a charging station!
