Cycle World - Harley Davidson Livewire

Check Cycle World for more pictures and an exclusive video they made of the new Lifewire. Hear the sound and to see how fast this thing accelerates. The official site seems to be down at the moment.

Imagine this bike without the hideous rear fender and licence plate holder and you've got a very good looking bike! Let's hope the this 90's street fighter licence plate trend is over any time soon. Freaking ugly look that looks always like an afterthought and it's one of those things that will date the bike very soon.
Anyway... Very nice frame, sweet looking hollow Y spoke rims, love the Livewire logo they made and this is the best looking electric engine I've seen so far.

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
