Probably unofficial? If so, he'll get clobbered by their lawyers.
How many of you Harley guys will be putting in an order?? ;)

As if the Neanderthals that ride Harleys(and can't even accept overhead cams) know what electricity is.

Within about 20 years[1], I predict HD will make bikes that look, sound, and ride pretty much exactly like the bikes they sell today. Except that underneath the chrome-plated finned cylinder heads (or what look like ones) that vibrate furiously at idle, they'll run on 100% electricity.

I'm sure they'll also make bikes with more "modern" styling - some variants will be under the HD logo, some under their other brands. And I'm sure they'll continue to make fossil-fuel powered bikes for as long as they're legally and financially able to.

[1]+/- 10 years either way

Hmmm Horse have'nt electric vibrators already been invented?

The seat padding looks like a loofah glove.

You can exfoliate your as* as your ride :D

Well as long as you wear buttless chaps.
