Raise your hand if you are buying a Livewire.

No interest.

But if you're the MoCo, that's exactly the point. Livewire is not intended to appeal to current HD owners. Livewire is their (probably futile) effort to create an entirely new group of owners, a group that has little to nothing in common with the current crop.

Well, I try never to say never. If they were half the price and if I had room in the stable, I would probably have one to run around town on. My BMW car is a hybrid - never thought I would ever own a hybrid, but damn, the torque is insane and instant. However, like Omaha said, that bike is probably not being targeted to those of us old-schoolers riding baggers.

I am not interested in it but i want to see more specifications about it. Is the pack or motor liquid cooled? I skipped over buying the new Zero SR-RF because it is still air cooled pack and motor and more than one person demo riding over heated one. Air cooled batteries were behind the issues with the early Nissan Leafs and all long life EVs are liquid cooled. So I want to see which route Harley went.

If I had piles of cash just sitting around I'd buy one in a heartbeat, it's different, I like different.

Only one problem, none of the local (Indianapolis area) dealers will be selling them, at least not at first.
