What about rider comfort? Or is this their "stealth" version and the production model will have a real rider's seat?

Based on how comfortable that seat looks, battery life should only need to be about 15 minutes...
Kudos to them, however, for deciding that an electric motorcycle doesn't need to look like one with an ICE. That kind of thinking is what's required to be truly innovative.

Hideous monstrosity, and did i mention it's F-cking ugly.

The overall look being so bulky and with no fairings makes me think cruiser, but the seat height, handle bars, and foot pegs are all sportbike. Definitely a unique machine that will turn heads and terrify riders.

So...no need for a shifter or clutch...presume the left caliper is for the rear brake? Speaking of which - what kind of braking system does it have? If disks, they don't seem very large (and I imagine with the battery packs the bike is no lightweight) - drum brakes? Or some kind of regenerative braking system - if so, how much stopping power can that provide?

I like it but would rather they concentrate on range and comfort. Sure would love to take it for a spin though. I read that Eric Buell is helping out in some fashion at Curtiss. Harley is to produce the LiveWire next year and I have ridden one and loved it but it was a bit small for my 6 ft frame. My wife at 5'4" found it perfect.

Is it suppose to be a tunnel in a circle, with few stops. Boondoggle..

It reminds me of the Dodge Tomahawk a little. Electrics open the canvas up a bit to some of the possible designs. One interesting thing about Harley making an electric is that there are a lot of people who make custom Harley's and we could see some creative customizations of it.

Like others, I admire the non-traditional thinking, but Frankenstein's monster was non-traditional thinking too and neither is/was attractive. It is, at once, compact yet massive, efficient yet excessive. That said, good art and good show vehicles get noticed, whether out of love or disgust, so I suppose this gets points for that.

lol.
it doesn't appear to look terrible for any practical reason.
It merely makes an artistic statement with no real sign of things to come...
