An electric harley? http://canadamotoguide.com/2014/06/18/electric-har ley-davidson-cometh/ | ||

Can you imagine.... they will put some kind of godawful noisemaker on it so you can sit at the red light blipping the throttle... | ||

South Park is pretty funny. By the way, it's just down the road from us...South Park that is.  | ||

has a lot of look like the MAC bikes from England - the Blast 'kit' for cafe | ||

I really thought Erik and team would be coming out with an electric bike in the near future, certainly before rusty, crusty ol' Willy G would ever consider such a thing. | ||

 This looks like a movie prop. | ||

Check this - Buell had been working on an electric bike, in fact the guy heading up the project is now a co-owner of Zero MC - http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/ All of a sudden HD's gone modern - think not - think they stole this idea from Buell - lock stock and barrel and are going to run with it as their own - http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/harley-david son-livewire-photos/#comments It looks great though - and if they can pull it in at a decent weight - they will sell tons - but original - sigh - no.

That comment came from this debate in the Blast section - http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=20164&post=2417749#POST2417749 http://http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/20164/20164.html?1403162656 EZ (Message edited by ezblast on June 19, 2014) | ||

I see a modern XLCR. Traditional Harley buyers wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole and non-Harley buyers won't buy it because it's a Harley. Maybe if they sold it with baseball cards in the spokes as an accessory? | ||

its a great looking bike | ||

It'll fail. The faithful won't accept it. This will be round 2 Buell. | ||

Is it just me, or does that swingarm look a bit Buell-like? | ||
| Torquehd |
They actually did it! I am impressed. I hope it performs well. It's not the facade i would have chosen, but i can't say it looks bad. especially considering who it's coming from. | ||

Looking at the picture of the woman seated on the bike..... makes me think I would look like King Kong sitting on a tricycle | ||
| Damnut |
Is that Carrot Top's sister? | ||
| Reepicheep |
Nice looking bike, I'll judge it when prices and specs are announced. | ||
| Griffmeister |
I think that's Carrot Top in drag. | ||

Stunt women for the new Avengers series movie. For The Black Widow aka Natasha Romanoff, played by Scarlett Johansson. While I don't care for the politics of most actors, they have to be especially stupid, like Matt Damon, to get me to not watch a movie they are in.... and Scarlett Johansson, is hot enough as Natasha Romanoff that I can always turn the sound off... I thought she stole the show in the 1st Avengers movie. ( although most credit The Hulk with the best line ) | ||

the more I look at it, the more I find the Livewire attractive. | ||

informative little clip | ||

You consider - Buell was designing an electric motorcycle - in charge - the same guy who designed the Blast and is now head engineer and co-owner of Zero Electric Motorcycles - and then how can you not see the obvious style and design notes. They would have a lot more respect if they had done it on their own and not just blatantly stole from others. EZ | ||

http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/ Check out some real electric motorcycles way past that in design and development. EZ | ||
| Torquehd |
Ez, you're behind the times (so is HD, despite making a pretty motorcycle) These guys lead the way: https://www.mission-motorcycles.com/ Alright, the cynic in me is starting to see through the facade. I wonder how much of a kickback HD got (and from who) for producing an electric motorcycle. That seems the most probable cause for all of this. Still yet, I hope some day, we'll all be able to roll around on superbikes that cost 1.4 cents per mile. (Message edited by torquehd on June 20, 2014) | ||

Brammo and Zero are actually selling real motorcycles to real people. Right now, Mission is just "vaporware" unless you're a racer. I put them in the same category as MotoCszysz (or however he spells his name). | ||

A quiet motorcycle???? That won't interest the straight pipe type. You know...the ones that want to make as much noise as humanly and mechanically as possible. | ||
| Jaimec |
That was my thought. I can't see the dealerships being interested in selling a bike where they couldn't scrap the stock exhaust and install something louder and flashier before the owner even takes delivery. That's money out the window! |
