Default Which Harley Davidson motorcycle uses Flex Fuel?

Does anyone know if Harley Davidson has a motorcycle that uses flex fuel or ethanol? I live to ride and ride to live but I care about the environment as well.I am also looking into using a hydrogen fuel cell but would need to figure out how to use a gyroscopes to stay upright.Any ideas?

Harley does not make one. Also, Honda attempted to put a fuel cell into a motorcycle several years ago and they were unable to get it to function properly.

Whoa not so fast cowboy. Flex fuel technology was really only developed in the late 1980s. The latest generation Harleys just passed the 1950 level in terms of technology, so it will likely be another 30 years or so before they start messing with alternative fuels. For now you'll just have to be a tree killing, ozone depleting global warmer on your Harley.

Flex fuel isn't that good - I have a pickup that can run on E-80 (80% Ethanol) and it just barely runs and get awful mileage on E-80. HD doen't make a bike that is Flex Fuel capable at this point, although they could if they wanted. At this point all of HD's models have sequential port fuel injection-so it would just be a tweak on the ECU.

And as for you Cornporto;21822; visit a dealer and see what the motor company has been up to for the last 105 years.
