    Used Livewire already? They sell for ~$35,000 up here, I wonder how big a hit the owner took on the trade.

      Nice Katana.
      And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
      Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

        I had no idea they were that expensive.
        Add tax and dealer prep and it will will $45,000 in the driveway. Yikes.

          I am out of shape, this was exhausting, its only 6.1 kilometers (but at an incline).
          It counts in my opinion. I’ve posted bicycle pics in this thread on occasion.

            Why us Millennials where scratching our heads when they clearly tired pushing it to our age group. HD didn't understand why we don't want it and coildn' t afford it... $30K for a motorcycle... No thanks. If a motorcycle company can get us on Motorcycles as good as you guys had our age at a fair price point... You will see more new riders.

              No...millennials are the target....just rich ones....think tech industry and west coast. Personally I'd buy the Zero first...took one out for a couple of hours...great fun and way better looking imo

                  The concept of the LiveWire is hard to me. If I want a commuting bike, I could get a fat bike (bicycle) with AWD for $5000 that would get me to work and back faster than a motorcycle. If I want to save money it doesn't make sense to spend that much on a first(-ish) generation electric motorcycle. It will lose all its value and it has very little benefit. I can get a good motorcycle for $5000, and $25k buys a LOT of gasoline.

                  Some people want the status of Harley-Davidson, but I am not one of those, and I believe they would not approve of the LiveWire, as they already disapprove of several models in their lineup already. You won't impress a Mercedes-fanboy with an A- or B-class, just like you won't impress the harley guys with a livewire.

                  I use my bike mostly for leisure, so for that the range would limit what I like to do. Which is just hop on the bike and ride around until I get tired. When the borders open I can go to Latvia on a whim, an electric bike would make that harder.

                  As a commuter bike in a big city it makes some sense, more so in american cities (high speed limits), but at that price point you have a lot of options. If you can spend $30k on a bike, you can afford gasoline. So why not get a H2 SE SX+? Or a BMW GS? Or the KTM 1290?

                    Took my shadow out for a run into town. It's November on the west coast so he may not get many more chances this year...

                          I went down the Nestucca yesterday with 2 pals. The lower route, along the river, was wet, dark and a couple weeks late to be in a small canyon in the mountains.

                          On the way back, went over Bald Mt. Stopped at the overlook for a bit

                              Today I went for what was likely the last ride in the Utah mountains for 2020. Snow and cold are in the forecast here starting tomorrow. If you look closely in the background, you can see that the Snowbird ski resort is starting to make snow for the upcoming ski season.
