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.










El Solitario - Imposter

El Solitario just send me this great short movie about their controversial Imposter. Looks like a trailer for a horror movie, very nicely done guys, I like!

Impostor incarnates the spirit of Savage Cinema, the wildest & most radical section inside the 62nd San Sebastian International Film Festival. To honor the European debut of Dana Brown's On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter, Savage Cinema has joined forces with, motorcycle’s avant-garde specialty store, El Solitario to produce this haunting piece. Impostor is dark, powerful, excessive, raw, burnt, merciless... Alive!

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
