Harley-Davidson is planning to phase out motorcycles powered by its storied internal combustion engines, and will slowly but surely transform into an all-electric brand. Harley CEO Jochen Zeitz tells Dezeen that after 120 years of being famous for its big gas-powered models, electrification is the logical next step. That is, if the company plans on sticking around for another 120 years.
Harley-Davidson’s EV transition “needs to happen,” according to its CEO, and not just on a small scale with a brand like LiveWire. No, we’re talking H-D dealers selling EVs exclusively, although it isn’t going to happen overnight.

People, your country is being destroyed. Not the nation, it is the chief abbetor of our country’s destruction. When is the day to ever come when Americans will arise. Probably never, I weep for the country and so should you. When it is gone nothing will ever be seen again.
I ALWAYS cut the mufflers off my trucks.
Am I a bad person?
Nothing like the kiss of death for your own company. Oh my God
You’re getting cranky, Crusty....
Naked short
Ronald Reagan and Pat Buchanan saved them from the Japanese(Kawasaki).
“ALWAYS cut the mufflers off my trucks.
Am I a bad person?”
Your neighbors probably thought so 😏
Like a cowboy
On a lithium horse I riiiide.

What's the first thing a driver will say after hitting a motorcycle?
"I didn't see him."
HD motorcycles have zero effect on the climate, so they are going to change their brand and product totally?
Go Woke, Go Broke.
1st of all, if it were not for incorrect winter storage, the demand for Harleys would be half of what it is today. Most run like shit because nobody dares shoot carb cleaner down the throat of the conventional ones. They ride like shit because I see old tires and bad shocks just when behind them.
It is a toy that may get 12k / year that should have a lifetime of 100k miles with the simple belt/chain changes. Typical owner breaks a head open or hip on on a ride before anything but tires and carb have problems.
The electric bicycles and motocross can get me to places no harley dare go. Rivian Truck and 2 electric bikes would run the same amount a 2 electric Harleys.
What in the world is the Harley 1% going to say.... it sounds like the bowling ball era.
And I thought the AMF era of Harley was bad!
Yeah, a Harley that sounds like a trolling motor...that’s the ticket.
You must be that Dodge guy I keep hearing.
Idiots
