At some point in time, Harley Davidson will be all-electric,” the executive [Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz] recently told Dezeen. “But that’s a long-term transition that needs to happen. It’s not something you do overnight.


At some point in time. Not really being too aggressive there. At some point in time electric vehicles will take over from internal combustion vehicles, but that’s a very long time in the future.

And then what will be the difference between any bike?


Exactly. It is the sound and engine that makes the bike. With out those two, you will left with some artificial noise maker and a larger vibrator to simulate the engine sound and feel.

Screw the Woke stuff, but I'd love a quiet bike. Boat motor too. Give the folk choices and let them buy what they like.

They almost went broke 10 years ago and Buffett bailed them out. They have more debt now than they did then. HD is on death watch but will take a few years.

If it will shut down the obnoxious noise of these things, I’m all for it.

I like the idea of Harley’s. I hate listening to them most of the time.

Harley Davidson committed suicide a long time ago.

And their customer service did decades before corporate.

20 years ago they were the big thing. Increased production which took away one of the draws; They were hard to get.

Dealers built these massive shops that have to be a huge drain on them now with lower sales.

Never long term invest big in a fad.

I'm pretty sure everything will be electric before too long.




I'm absolutely sure you don't have a clue about the capability (or lack thereof) of the power grid, or the capability of battery production.

I foresee an opportunity to market a high-end V-Twin sound replicator.
