    Not for me, just doesn't make sense, but I admit some will buy that's for sure. Harley built the LiveWire, so they must know something.

    I couldn't get past ogling that girl reading from a script.
    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

    I give the livewire 2 years production tops....there is no way in hell the average Harley rider would ever buy one
    and they are $$$$$$$ expensive.

    And for anything other than short trip commuting, completely useless. Cannot even manage a full day's riding on a charge. Could never take it on a group ride for instance or go out of town with it. $30k for basically a 150 mile range sportster that takes over night to refuel.

    Interesting concept but I agree, they will sell very few.

    I wonder why Harley would waste good $ on such a concept. I guess they have it to waste, but guess who is paying for that waste.

    Harley is grasping at straws.
