rode the Harley "Live Wire"

[Theycallmecrash]

If thats even its name, but did a 5 mile demo on one today.. and Im very very VERY impressed!

The power is unbelievable, but very smooth and easy to control. The touch screen instrument cluster right on par with todays tech, felt like I was riding a lightning body position wise that is. The regenerative braking isnt all that aggressive, feels just like my buell when engine braking. 90 mile range meh, but a fun bike to ride overall I give it an 8.5/10 I would buy/will if it becomes available and I dislike the concept of electric.

Thanks for taking the hit for us! I wanted to but i opted to take a ride on a used bmw r1200r and a ducati 1200 the day they were in pa...

Good thing there is no clutch lever on that bike because you only have one finger on your left hand.

I kinda like the mirrors on the turn signals. Keeps the handle bars clean.

Honestly I'd be interested to try it out as its the first electric bike out there I've seen where it looks like they actually tried to put some fit and finish on it instead of just cobbling together parts (I'm looking at you Zero).

I just find it funny that HD killed off buell to basically build an electric XBS.

so with PA sales tax...doc fees....dealer freight and prep....about $33,000 out the door. God Almighty!
for that kind of money i'll buy a 4 year old nissan leaf...replace the battery pack....and enough money left over to update my phone. it works fine but texting a real PITA. wally.....ricky....dobe....josh....have at it. plenty of cannon fodder i'm giving you right here.

Of course it's not! Those buttons are far too small for John to read... and they're not in Roman numerals

 

[BuellyBagger]

But yeah 30k for an electric sportster with a 100 mile range, f#@k that!

 

[Outlaw]

That's not John phone. His still flips open.

 

[Outlaw]

John's phone is like a Star Trek communicator. Lol!! State of the art back then.
