The sound is one of the most noticeable characteristics of Harleys. If the floor of your car of your starts vibrating on a red light it's a good chance there's a Harley next to you.<p>I don't own a Harley, but I'm sure Harley owners are proud of the sound as it is an integral part of the ride and makes the bike more powerful (psychologically).<p>That being said, IMO, an electric Harley will end up being just another utility motorcycle with of course 100% torque at any point of time.
