    Well, that was fast. They rebadged that bike faster than an Austrian can slap Husky stickers and white plastic on a KTM. :lol: They couldn't wait to be on par with Harley.

    $20K is a little steep. You've gotta really believe in global warming to like that price. Plus it looks like anyone much over 6 feet would be having a fight between their knees and elbows over the steering chores.

    Yes, they're getting better, and sales of electric bikes are expected to increase over the next ten years as battery technology improves for longer range and quicker re-charge, and prices drop as the battery prices do the same.

    I'll be sticking to the dino-juice power for now. I would like to ride an electric bike to say I've done it, but that's about it.

    They could sell a bunch in CA in any case. With so many flush with cash for expensive homes, they probably would line up for a couple of these at the house. Not for me at this point but Polaris was right to get them released and retool the Victory lineup as the performance brand.
