I don't know, the Harley older generation did not like the V-ROD with its overhead cam and water cooled engine. I think the electric bike will attract a new group like the V-Rod has. The die hard loyal people who want the old style v-twin will continue to buy the air-cooled bikes they always have as long as they are manufactured. The people worried about the environment are trying to get the air cooled bikes banished. They pollute more than the water cooled. Those people are trying to get catalytic converters on lawn mowers. My 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad has computer control, water cooling and an exhaust sensor and a catalytic converter on it. It is just like the cars now. Suppose to control pollution. And all gas engines will soon follow suit.
The people who like the Harley's as they are will have to change when the pollution people pass the new regulations for cleaner burning engines. We will have no say how our new engines will be. We must clean up the air, I understand, but we will all be running electric vehicles in the future I believe. I hope future generations will get to see our polluting gas engines as they were. From another time in history. This article came out of the Lancaster New Era. Harley-Davidson Live Wire! The future??
