Calling all Harley owners:

The rumours are true. After being seen on the set of the new Avengers film, Harley are now poised to announce a brand new, all electric motorcycle tomorrow (June 19th).

VisorDown, clearly having better spies than anyone else, point out that the bike looks production ready.

To the loud-pipes brigade, this looks like heresy, but it also makes sense. Like it or not, the gasoline engines days are numbered.

Booooooooooooo.  If it doesn't have an internal combustion engine it's not really a motorcycle....but good for Harley for getting themselves out of the 1940's...

Anxious to see it tho.  Will be looking for the announcement today

I have to say, it looks pretty damn decent. As with all electrics, charge time and ride time will be the big factor for me
