Haven't they already done that? I remember some nation wide event where they went from city to city with a truck load of electric Harley's for people to test ride.

They added some sort of manufactured sound to them as well. I wouldn't ride a silent one.

I would ride a silent one! Close to flying as you can get without flying. Plus I wouldn’t want Harley picking my sounds.

Ya that's the bike I remember.

I doubt I would ever buy one though it is the best looking Harley and the one that most closely reflects my taste. Those stupid looking mirrors would be the first to go for some bar end mirrors, if thats possible, not sure how many wires are being channeled up to that throttle.

EDIT: Actually just looked at the Jays Garage video on youtube on it and there arent even bar ends, it's just the rubber throttle grip wrapped around the whole thing. Deal breaker!

Why?

Because you already have to deal with people pulling out in front of you, cutting you off, and in general simply "not seeing you." The last thing I want to deal with on top of all of that is the ****wit next to me not hearing me and coming into my lane.

rashed up, totaled Street Glide.

all that little prick got was a couple of tickets, one for "improper lane change".
