Harley Davidson Livewire

Name, tech specs and pics leaked.
Read all about it on Asphalt and Rubber 
The bike will be officially launched on the official teaser site in a few hours.

Who would have thought Harley Davidson would be the first big motorcycle company to go electric?
What's up Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, BMW?
My guesse is that we willl see a lot of Electic concept bikes from the other big companys popping up next year.

Exiting times if you're into electric motorcycles.
Enjoy your gas guzzling monsters while you can!

My fear is that in ten years we'll be only allowed to ride Electric bikes in Europe and the USA.
If that happens, I'll move to Asia

Asphalt and Rubber - Electric Harley Davidson Concept Bike featuring in the new Captain America?

Is this a new Electric Harley Davidson almost ready for production?
It looks very much like a production model but what surprises me is that it has a styling that is very diffrent from everything Harley Davidson is selling right now. Only the Harley-Davidson branded brake calipers and the black paint look familiar., and maybe the lines of the tank. It's has no cruiser or flattracker lines. The rear mud guard looks out of place but the rest of the bike has nice lines. Looks like a fun bike to have. If only they made a bike like this with the new 750 engine..!
I this a teaser for a new model in the 500/750 Street range? That would be a huge step for Harley Davidson in the right direction.

Asphalt and Rubber - Husky 701 concept

In my Quest for Eicma news yesterday I found the very good Asphalt and Rubber site
and Motoblog.it They where both the first sites online with shots from the show and press pictures of all the new bikes on Eicma. Much faster that say for example Hell for Leather Rideapart or Oliepeil.
Oliepeil and Rideapart are still the sites to check if you want that "We don't give a shit" point of view that no other motorcycle news site gives you but they can learn a thing or two from Asphalt and Rubber and Motoblog.it in terms of bringing you the news a.s.a.p.

Here are some very nice shots of the new Husky 701 Concept that is packed with need details.
