Another Boutiquish Electric Super Bike. Personally I think this is the crowd Harley wants, the high dollar exclusive seeking riders who are more than willing to pay to play...
that's what it is, they just want to get in before everyone does. releasing the livewire in the way they did to me was their way to say "we're the first" and to set that in stone in the industry.
I can see Harley going after the same market as this bike, but Harley has the difference of having far different styling. I think this will be an advantage for Harley in the electric bike market. Most electric bikes have a very futuristic feel to them, but Harley may be able to capitalize on its traditional design chops to attract buyers.
I wonder if they will take that design language and use it for something other than an electric bike. That styling on a gas-powered Harley could really appeal to young buyers.
Ahh, nice. I wonder what folks were saying about folks back when the first silent grey came on the market...
It's a bike in the line up, buy one or not.
I'm and old schooler - but I like innovation. All of my bikes are old.
But as far as e-bikes go - this is the best I've seen in terms of styling, sound and muscle.
Nice work from HD, let's not wait too long and listen to old heads (I'm 62) that say the bike has to have signature sound, be safe by being loud, etc we already have that. Let this one run... that's my vote.

Welcome aboard, You're now the third or fourth old schooler I've heard mention how much they like this bike. I thought we were looking at defcon with the livewire.
Glad they have the support of the old guard, becuase they're certainly drawing in the new. No need for dichotomy, lets ride!
Where you located, you checked the tour dates/locales??

Around a year ago Curtiss started a crowdfunding campaign to build a flagship electric motorcycle. With $266k in working capital they've been hard at work on the Zeus and some new pictures of the prototype have recently surfaced. Its certainly a novel design, which wont come cheap as its...
Zero motorcycles will be unveiling a brand new naked street bike that will take aim directly at the Livewire. They have dropped a teaser image that previews the front end and some kind of side mounted shock absorber...
This was touched on in another thread, but its now been confirmed that Ducati has almost finished development on their first electric bike. Looks like they will be relying on tech from Energica Motors which supplies all of the components to the E-MotoGP. A lot of brands seem to setting on...
