Harley on track to launch first electric motorcycle within 18 months, but KC plant to close

Harley-Davidson Inc. announced early Tuesday with its fourth quarter 2017 earnings report that it is on track to launch its first electric motorcycle within 18 months and that it “will invest more aggressively” in the electric avenue in an attempt to “inspire ridership.” But on the flip side, the motorcycle manufacturer announced plans to close its Kansas City, Mo., plant and fold those operations into its Pennsylvania facility.
