LiveWire is Production-Ready

https://www.motorcycle.com/manufactu...ion-ready.html

I think the LiveWire looks really good.
However, I'm still a little disappointment at how "close to the vest" Harley is being with actual specs.
I've read several articles on the LiveWire this week but I don't know much more than I did 6 months ago.
As far MSRP goes, Harley is either still working it out with suppliers or it's gonna be so expensive that they're waiting to the last minutes to release the price.

It looks like a souped up swamp cooler with a very uncomfortable seat and wheels attached.
I don't see this in my future garage.
Maybe, when it can hover over water.

The article says they will release pricing and other info in January and you will be able to order then. They most likely need to get he dealers educated first

Probably because they don't want the public to know that it's a dog and you need a 52" inseam to touch the ground with both feet. And what a God awful looking machine. Why am I not surprise that the MOCo would waste so much money on developing and producing that clunker instead of spending it on making their regular lineup more reliable. Congrats Harley. You've come up with another flop that won't be around more than three years.

They said the price would be $30k about a year or so ago.
The seat isn't high, it's just a bad angle.
Reading between the lines, it's going to have about 200km range before needing charge.

I like it.
