    That thing ain't no hog. Looks more like SuperMoto to me. Wake me when there's a race.

    SANTA CRUZ, Calif., (May 7, 2013) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced the arrival of its all-new 2013 Zero MMX military motorcycle (hyperlink). The MMX was developed exclusively for military use in the U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) and provides Special Operations riders with unique tactical advantages over traditional combustion motorcycles, as the electric powertrain allows for rapid movement over hostile terrain in near silence and minimal heat signature. Zero Motorcycles’ engineering team worked under military contract to develop the motorcycle. The MMX has met the most stringent standards set forth by the U.S. military, as an undisclosed number of MMX motorcycles are currently undergoing full operational testing.

    As usual, Harley is behind the curve, using outdated technology to produce an underperforming machine. Browse Youtube for videos of electric motorcycles.

    Great, yet another way for one of my neighbors to be obnoxious... though in a completely different mode.

    Potato-potato-potato replaced with douchebag-douchebag-douchebag?
