We had some information about this bike posted back in June... :thumbup:
I spoke to the local dealer about them. His take, is that they're being introduced in urban environments, where the lack of useful range won't be an issue. :shocked:

Range will be 60 miles...for now. ~3hr stage 2 charge time.

It looks like fun...
But I'm actually more impressed with their new "Street" series of bikes. nojoke :2thumbs:

 

[Magdave]

I like the sound and I bet the acceleration is waaay quick. I think it would need at least 100mi. range to sell IMHO.:dontknow::dontknow:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: 100 miles, should be considered the bare minimum. :thumbup:

Will be interesting to see how the concept progresses. Old habits die hard. Can you visualize the local contingent of Hells Angels going down the road on these?

I know, HD would be looking for a different market segment--just like BRP and the F3. :roflblack::roflblack:

Friend works for a HD dealer and test drove last month. Didn't care for it...
