I live in a suburban area and work in an urban area. There is major construction on the highways for the next two years that requires more creative commutes depending on time of day that largely shifts to non-highway driving - lots more stop and go. I have found the true niche for the LW (and really any electric bike). Spring/summer/fall my work commute is almost exclusively by motorcycle and I will typically have about 5 bikes in the rotation to keep things interesting. The new commute requirements have found me on the LW everyday. It is just so much more enjoyable in this suburban/urban environment and what would typically be a very frustrating change in commute has become a really fun part of my day as I quietly zip through new neighborhoods. When temps hit 90F and I am bouncing from light to light, there is no heat and I can whip and weave through city traffic almost telepathically with this instant acceleration.
I hope that the LiveWire brand is more directed to these settings b/c this is where it best fits. This is where electric bicycles/motorcycles will establish a foot hold and then as technology progresses they will expand or not from there. To begin with a cruiser mindset is just completely wrong with this platform

Looks like @FatBob2018 is probably correct with his guess that it's just the 2021 LiveWire.
Spartan03 well said man I think you said what we without one thought that bike would be like all along. Nippy, cool and loads of fun.

Also you've got an early bike with the numbered plaque from memory , yes ? That'll be a collectable I'd say.

Spartan mate I've bought things over retail when I really wanted it, be it land, hookers or a pick up truck . You've posted up how good a rig yours is before and that it's the ducks guts .
Well it still is man , it's your perception that has changed .Keep that bike for another 20 years and see what it's worth then , until then ride the hell out of it mate.
