There's not much for negatives in my mind.

They really aren't keeping up with tech. Electric is by no means new or revolutionary now. They aren't setting trends, they are following them. Harley is going after hipsters.

I heard 130 miles and under an hour charge time.

Funny, I read on several sites 50 miles on demo economy settings and 30 miles on normal setting. Minimum 3 hour charge time. Not exactly compelling stats.

That's closer to what I read.

Harley is in by no means anywhere close to leading the edge on battery development. You would just have to be fooling yourself to even consider it. Hell they don't have anything to even do with it, that would be all contracted out to another company. Making batteries is a dirty dirty business.
