[@theneverman]

I rode the Live Wire. The acceleration was amazing, in 3 seconds I was doing 60 and in another 3 seconds I was over 100mph. That's it, that was the only plus on the bike. It was small, cramped and kind of lame. I took a deeper dive into its charging capabilities. It's either Level 1 charging (13 miles per hour of charging), Level 2 charging is unsupported, just drops to Level 1, and DC Fast charging - 0-100% in an hour, but you are told not to charge back to back on fast DC or it degrades the battery. Its always going to be a no-go for me.

[@KennyQuestShow]

The torque with the acceleration is fun. Everything else is no fun or not practical.

[@AmericanSavageGarage-em2oy]

aside from the spontaneous combustion of batteries (they burn at 3000 degrees by the way), the bike does not conform to the human soul-it does not speak to you. The electronics on it remove the human interaction with the bike, and human skill with all those damn ride modes. Hard pass.

[@KennyQuestShow]

Then why farm out to Kymco and others? If you’re going to OEM, do the thing. I think what Zeitz is banking on from his Puma experience is that merch sales profits exceed that of building anything less than a softail model and licensing your name for a china company to stamp on the side still sells and costs you less.

EV motorcycles just don’t make sense. Most motorcycles don’t log the monthly miles that cars do. You have to drive an EV a lot to make up for the initial costs and manufacturing pollution. EV makes some sense for commuter traffic, but not an occasional use recreational fun machine. And even then, bikes are already so much more efficient for a single person commuter vehicle than a car that it seems like a real stretch to expect a significant impact on pollution or crude oil resource consumption. The EV motorcycle may be fun and may even be practical for some. But it’s a niche thing. The “all electric” strategy applied to motorcycles seems insane to me. My car is EV but my two motorcycles are gas and I don’t see that changing. Even if we have to start using carbon neutral efuel instead of gasoline. It’s crazy expensive, but would be a LOT more doable for 3 gallons to fill up my bike than it would be for a SUV with a 20 gallon tank. And we already pay extra for exhausts etc to hear our bikes make that sweet sound. I truly think the traditional combustion engine motorcycle is a concept that has already been perfected.

So lets put this into perspective. Since the Livewire was launched, global sales have been 3000 machines in nearly 5 years. Harleys most popular selling bike is the original Sportster that has now been abandoned. Zeitz really knows how to kill off his base customers and probably any future motorcycle sales. And who exactly is going to buy these fantasy electric motorcycles? I mean Harley hasn't really encouraged younger riders into the fold, so the chances are Harley will completely fail and I can't say it doesn't serve them right, because it does. Most young riders I know are buying cheap Chinese machines and who can blame them. I'm even considering selling my Harley while I can and getting a CF Moto 800 MT to retire gracefully on.

Furthermore, people talked about the "Harley Mystique" for decades... then, in 2016, they did a study with UCLA where participants wore a portable EEG to measure brainwave activity. The Harley VTwin engine causes your brain to make Alpha waves, the brainwave state of relaxed focused concentration. Compared to EV's whose only stimulus is rapid accelleration, which creates Beta waves in your brain... Beta waves are associated with excitement, adrenalin, increased cortisol, and stress. These esg/dei, "sustainability" loving bean counters, have zero passion and enthusiasm for the core product (45 degree V-Twin), which has been proven scientifically to be a mystical meditation machine.

Well said. 👏🏼

most hd riders don't ride more than a hundred miles anyway.

[@KennyQuestShow]

I do.

[@michaelshepherd8299]

Who hired this guy and why?

[@KennyQuestShow]

No body hired him. He bought himself onto the board then smooth talked his way through the old guard then chaired a committee, the sustainability committee that he originated based on his ESG plan from Puma where he was CEO. In 2018 he was voted in as the new chairman of the board. In 2020 he appointed himself as CEO.

Not for me. I’m done. I’m not going to blow up my bike and I can’t really sell it thanks to the Kraut- but I’m done with HD.

[@KennyQuestShow]

It’s sad but many are saying this.

[@markkarbowski6473]

He is a hypocrite not one bike in his garage

[@KennyQuestShow]

Did I show Zeitz’s garage?

[@SlowRiderDucati]

So Harley is now an electric scooter company? 😂😅

[@KennyQuestShow]

Soon he says. They own 90% of Live Wire and the CEO plans to merge the two companies if / when battery technology and the grid evolves to accommodate longer distance travel.

[@TheNothingChannel-je9me]

Fuck Harley-Davidson I’m done with that garbage. It cost too fucking much and it breaks down to damn much and parts are ridiculously outrageous

[@KennyQuestShow]

Noted!

[@ttburn6338]

This CEO understands nothing about motorcycles. The day I have to drive a BS-bike like a lifewire I would quit motorcycling.

[@KennyQuestShow]

We can’t let him take our ability to choose for ourselves
