Local dealer said their getting one of these in August, It’s going to generate a lot of interest and bring a lot of people to the store.

No test rides will be allowed and you’ll be lucky to get to sit on it. One thing I wasn’t supprised about was theirs not 1 preorder on the stores books.

Just think @ 30k plus tax plus delivery , I can understand why.

P.S. This last bit is true, but please take the rest with large grains of salt as this post was meant as an April Fools gag.
And Harley has said the Livewire has a distinctive sound from the gears, it makes a high pitched whine, kind of like a jet engine.

Also, by law in the US, as of 2020, electric vehicles will have to make a sound when going under 18.6 MPH to alert pedestrians to their presence.

But the JOKE is the $29,700 price tag.
