Bad idea. Harley's biggest growth and largest margins have been in touring bikes. With its median age increasing every year, this is simply the wrong type of bike.

Another reason (perhaps more importantly), harley's are marketed on the dream of hitting the open road, and leaving your problems behind. Any restrictions when, where, and how you would have to go to remain charged, kills the fantasy.
