The bike lot at work today. Yeah, my bike is it. Mid 70s and overcast. Beautiful riding weather. You know who can't see the practical use of this new bike? The people who aren't riding their bikes. The people who have a bike just taking up space in the garage and aren't riding every day anyway. I'm in no hurry to switch to an electric bike, but I can see the practical use of it because I do ride every day.
There's no point in trying to sell a practical motorcycle because there is no practical reason to own a motorcycle. It's purely an emotional decision. Do you need a 1700 cc V-Twin motor to ride to work? Or a 1400 cc race bike with lights that will tickle if not surpass 200 mph? Of course not but if we were looking for sensible we'd all be driving Honda Civics. How boring would that be? I hope this new Harley tempts some young people to try a motorcycle and live a little.
Total nonsense.

Gorgeous bike regardless.

Thanks. This is another picture from work last week. I sent it to my son to torment him. He's in Afghanistan and I'm baby sitting for him. I try to ride his once or twice a week to keep the battery charged.
I would be interested in electric vehicles and toys when they are functional and meet all my needs, including safely having the range I need to drive. I live in Wyoming and it is not uncommon to have 70+ miles between locations with services. If the batteries were not functioning at optimal level, I might not make it there. They are going to have to do better than that.
Wasn't aware that even existed. Thanks for posting that. A mountain bike, with better suspension that you don't have to pedal and goes 60 mph. I'd seen the zeros and a buddy has an electric trials bike, but I need one of those.

Sure they are, but that doesn't mean the majority of people who commute on a bike can't take advantage of the technology as it is. Electric bikes aren't being marketed for cross country trips any more than scooters are.

Oh wow.
That's a sharp bike. Is that the Scout Bobber?

This might come as a huge shock to you but electric motorcycles are in their infancy and most people don't live in Wy-fugking-oming.

Yeah. Of the 16 months he's owned it, it's been at my house for at least 10 of them. I kinda feel bad that the tires are showing wear. I'll just tell him they were like that when he left.
Hey, he wanted to go fugk off in Afghanistan so that's on him. Grin...
Does that bike do pretty decent on the highway?
I don't push it too hard since it's not mine, but it does go pretty well. Fast and fun in the curves, but not much for suspension. The motor is fun to wind out to 8000rpms.

Cool bike.
The really cool part for me is having two bikes at home has allowed my daughter and I to ride together. She rides mine and I ride my sons. I guess when he comes home I'll have to buy her a bike.

If I lived somewhere else I'd buy one.

That is cool.
Buy her CB1000R and tell me what you don't like about it.
Thanks.

She's way too much of a daredevil to turn loose with something like that.
