    Wow Harley technology just took a leap forward 100 years technology wise and missed all the good stuff like OHC, turbos, high compression etc in the middle.

    'That's bizarre'... and that's so true. Consider the world shocking KO 750 Honda of yesteryear 1969. Still, when the people of the day produce an alternative battery powered one, I'll be long gone with no regrets.

    Plus they’ll hardly get from one pub to the next before the battery goes flat. (Depending on how far apart the pubs are - your result may differ)
