I would suggest the appearance of reduced power is more likely you are becoming accustomed to the machine. While I have not formally raced my bike, I have done some full power riding for extended periods, and have not perceived any reduction of power. Could just be differences in expectations...

Those who know haven't been participating with us, so I would assume they are at dealerships and a few more with various area reps. Beyond that, it's all speculation.

If only an excellent presentation was enough...

Yup, boxes and wires. That's what I saw too.

Saw a lot of Alta concept bikes in there, might have been some cool stuff possible.

A sad thought indeed.

Something along the lines of quick change and modular would be cool, add modules for extra range when weight isn't critical, but quick change for track days, one in use, fresh packs waiting in the pits. Would be the best of both worlds, but mounting them without sacrificing the feel of the bike...

Facewhatever won't let me play....

From what I have read, they deliberately made the gears louder, by how the teeth are cut and adding additional gears. So exactly what we would expect from HD, a lotta noise for not a lot of speed.

LoL, not my thing, but it's well done.

A fine looking dumpster fire :sick: :poop:

Who's got the marshmallows??

Sounds like we have the makings of a rally here!!:ricky:

Not as encouraging an answer as you were hoping for? Not to worry, there are multiple efforts under way to keep these machines operational regardless of the outcome of Alta motors.

Very cool!

The best information we have is around 1000 were produced total, with about 700 sold, not sure we have the model breakout to know how many of each are out. As for your question regarding Alta being sold, nobody who knows is talking yet. But stay tuned, there should be news eventually.

I have done lots of riding with bikes equipped with side cases, even in places they don't really belong. For the most part, if the cases don't stick out wider than your knees, the bike will fit into some very surprising trails. Wider than your knees, and they will be bumping trees and rocks a lot.

With the wild elevation changes we ride in in the Puget sound area, I manage to get 35 miles pretty safely with a wide mix of trail and pavement. As for reliability, second only to an anvil; lube the chain, charge the battery and hit the trails. But as much as I love my Alta, I just can't see...

When you're up on those mountain tops, look west and wave, I'm just across the pond from you.
