I really want to try one. I've ridden an older Zero and really liked it. The range of Electric bikes is getting far enough to be useful as a commuter for me. But there is no way I can justify to myself spending $30,000 on it for commuting and I still need to keep a bike for longer rides.
If anything Id take a Fat Bob for a jaunt as this was the bike my wife was going to upgrade my sporty too but I declined and she got me a quad.
But even if the livewire was only 20 K, theres a hell of a lotta bikes out there in that price market.
Rime will tell.

Yeah 30K is house money right there for someone that cant afford too much let alone a bike.

An interesting article:
https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/t...dson-livewire/
"Theres little indication that Harley is willing to offer discounts or incentives, according to the same report, presumably because it spent a fortune developing a flagship product from scratch, and it understandably wants to recoup its investment."

No discounts in northern Cali. Sacramento dealer has had an orange one for over a week and added $10,000 over msrp. The sticker reads $40,000. You are not to far from a cvo at that price. I bet it sits there for a long time.

Oh my gosh...idiots. Just like Chevy dealers that are the bane of Corvette and Camaro sales with their ridiculous markups, these dealers will kill the LiveWire.

Or you can have one of these for 32,000 and take the family on a nice vacation with the change.

I thought California was trying to get more people to use electric vehicles.

But LA just rolled out a plan to increase the charging points to 86,000 and to have 80% of vehicles sold be electric.

This is a case of a poorly planed system that is not ready for what is being asked of it. I hope that it can be in the future but IMHO they need to figure out the basic parts of the system first and that is a clean way to generate the power and distribute it and how to handle all the battery waste. The technology just isn't where it needs to be on these very key parts today.
