Well not only that but its not like Harley is the first to do an electric motorcycle. I guess my question is kind of me being an ******* and kind of me really wanting to know.. is there something Harley is doing differently than others who are making electric bikes? If not, it doesn't seem that groundbreaking to me other than Harley has never done it before.

It's all just based my personal opinion of course. But I consider it to be ground breaking that HD is the first motorcycle manufacturing company to have license electric motorcycles riding all over streets throughout the U.S. Who else is doing that? So technically, I see it as they broke ground on the all electric motorcycle.

Pretty cool IMO, and I'm proud to see HD doing this. And Project LiveWire is a perfect title for this campaign.

If Harley has money to invest on this they are making way too much profit

They're cool, but they should take that money and make the Damn Infotainment/GPS System - WORK - correctly.
Stop all these damn updates every 2 weeks. How many years did they have to work the bugs out???
