"Zeitz says it could take decades ..." Sounds like their-gas-powered models will be sticking around for at least 20 years. Seems reasonable.

I am not a Harley rider. But it looks like the company is going woke! Unbelievable!!!!
To: Salman

To: Salman
Yes, and this will kill that company deader than a doornail.

Goodbye old friend, I knew ye well. Though I've never owned one, or even spent a lot of time around bikes, it saddens me to watch your demise.....
My gosh, what's next? Are they gonna go after my chainsaw? My snow blower?

HD motorcycles have zero effect on the climate, so they are going to change their brand and product totally?

Old Harleys just started gaining value. I’m tempted to buy one and store it in one of my sheds. Ride around the block once a month to keep everything from deteriorating.

There is no demand for electic motorcycles. No demand what so ever.
