How can it hurt...if price point will get young riders on two wheels with a HD manufactured bike I think it will be a good thing.

Not sure what people are supposed to feel without knowing the details, test riding it, etc.... I just see it as a potential new motorcycle to hit the market.

I don't feel a thing. I haven't discussed it with any fellow Harley owners because most of them have a life and also don't feel a thing.

I heard some rumors that the electrical pulse from the motor gives you ankle cancer .
And that lithium batteries from chronic riding give you prostate cancer .

I thought Harley scrapped this project?? I hope they revived it. I like it a lot. I'd get one if they start selling them. It'll break Harley into a younger market, and that's a good thing.

My Road King gets me between 150 and 200 miles to a tankful, and I can fill it back up and be back on the road in under 5 minutes. Until electric bikes can match that, they're pretty much a novelty or special, limited use devices. Zero seems to make the best ones currently, but even those top out at about 100 miles. So far, electrics are super expensive for what you get, too. Try again in about 5 years, maybe technology will have caught up to the real world.
