MORE BS THERE NOT THAT FAST. KEEP UR ELECTRIC N I WILL KEEP MY NITROUS BAGGER!!.. I also drag raced bikes for 35yrs!.
Nice try Harley-Davidson but I’ll stick with a real motorcycle like my ultra classic
From what I can tell, the Harley Davidson Livewire is the most important and revolutionary motorcycle built in America in the last 50 years. It is a masterpiece. It looks absolutely beautiful, better than any electric bike on the market from any manufacturer. And it has better features. It really is a world changing motorcycle. The single problem is, the price is so high that Harley doesn't actually want to change the world with this motorcycle. Electric parts should cost significantly less, not significantly more. The marketing strategy is completely wrong. Trying to make maximum profit, before even establishing the new market, is completely incorrect. A new demographic of customers can only be created if they can actually afford this motorcycle.
I think the LiveWire would be a really cool second bike. The range limit just wouldn't allow it to replace my Road King, but it would be a really fun bike to take down a twisty road or to a track day.
Their own BS software limits screwed them. The whole fleet is governed to 112 mph.
Nice!
I ❤️ 💀 Fuels
Cool commercial………good try, I'll stay with my Dyna
Damn I wanted a FXDR but HD stop making them 😠🤦🏻♂️
It's a great urban machine. But HD you should have sold it at cost price for it's first 3-5 years to build up a loyal fan base. Asking $10k more than a Zero S/RF is as head-shaking as the front end design of the otherwise perfectly acceptable Pan America. Stop arrogantly telling your target audience what they want and just simply ask them (p.s. your target audience isn't existing HD owners – just in case you didn't know that already).
8:49 … Less is more. Less noise, more asking price.
Science of persuasion
Hahaha like harley knows speed. It's inevitable Indian Motorcycles will begin dominating the drag strip to just like they did with the American flat track and after they kick the s*** out of Harley Davidson at the king of the Baggers just watch, Indian will dominate.
I did a test ride of the livewire at my local dealership for an hour and was thrilled to the core. I would have bought it right there at 19K, I even offered to buy it at that price and my offer still stands. You're way off the price point on this one HD. We can do business when you get realistic.
These recent videos are fun to watch, but I don't think it's going to win you new customers. You know who was bringing the interest, and not only do you ignore their work, you even come down on some of them with your legal team.
Look at the comment section and ask yourselves what sort of rage you inspire, while other brands bring out Love and energy for their products. Are you listening Jochem?
@Harley-Davidson
when are you going to allow Livewire owners to get closer to the 13.5 rpm the engine is capable?
It would be an achievement to see HD put the electric motor in current-like cruisers, doubt Il see that in my lifetime. E bikes are the future of motorcycling!
Cant wait to see what the gen 2 and 3 models are like.
Everything is just to get our minds to change to electric vehicles. There is no fun without the sound and tuning of fuels
Why is the front brake lever chrome? It should be black like all the other controls.
What what I missed what you said about the Bogan! Till then not interested in the corporate garbage! Cheers
I love my 2019 RG but Harley you are idiots for investing all that money into an electric bike! Nobody wants it! I’ll wait a decade or so to see if I want to invest in Harley stock.
Not 1 full pass against the fxdr, where it lost every time.
Harley Davidson motorcycle company is an embarrassment to all who ride their overpriced pos….then they have the gall to go after those who have supported them for years, good and bad…Harley Davidson should look up the word "Loyalty" and maybe try and live it, instead of that so call "dream" that they try and push as FREEDOM…..
A really good looking bike, it needs the bronx engine to make the package complete.
The livewire is cool but I will keep my XR1200. When it first came out I said holy hell its a electric version of my XR!! But damn I would love to rip on one of those drag bikes.
Perhaps a successful youtuber will fall in love with this bike and make lots of videos of him riding it and promoting it, and HD will never even acknowledge him until he uses some coarse language and then HD will be right there to condemn and admonish him in true corporate fashion
We Love Billion Dollar Bogan.
I am not sure that this new electric bike will be good for human evolution – the bikes are so fast that the riders (who can afford that prictag) will probably have a higher chance of getting into difficulties on the road that they may become endangered ….. that's OK if all the Lawyer 'weekend warriors' die out, but what about the Doctors ?
Harley-Davidson is out of touch with it's fan base.
I wont be attending ANY electric racing in any form. I see this electric yrend as more of controling people then saving the environment.
Better team up with polaris with that battery bike
That lime wires going to the junk yard when that battery goes to shit . The yuppy will like , it goes with parading . That fxdr beauty will live on with aftermarket internals . The vrod is the real power
HD Corporate needs to discuss Geelong and MDB
Hardcore hype fail.
is it me or did they not give 1/4 mile times?
$50.000 in Australia
Somehow that science never makes it to the dealership…..
Harley Davidson is the best channel for Bikers, I actually created my own channel called Lucifer’s Garage to show even more Bike culture highlights-come check it out, we will always follow back!
These things are badass.
Most of the fun is experiencing the noise, vibration and mechanics of the gasoline powered engine. To each their own.
Hahahaha! Yeah, when Eric Buell wanted to race, he went with a Rotax engine
That was all I needed to know about HD
1/4 mile time? The only thing I was waiting for all the video.
after the way HD treated MDB i wont buy anything from Harley
But the Livewire still will not get the younger generations out of mommy's basement.
At $30,000 who is going to buy it?
Let' talk about how it compares to the Zero!
10 and a half minutes of people drag racing without a single ET listed…
There is already racing thing with ev like motoE and formula-E
Why no speed results?
I own a 2019 FXDR and I love it, It has the best stance of Any other H-D, it's a Beast and it looks Good. Buy Holy Shit is HD trying to sell off this over priced RC toy the Live Wire. It's just too fucking Expensive !! Here in NJ there is a dealer who suckered a buyer of one of these things, together with a 7 yr warranty, and out the door the poor sap ended up paying just over 41K for this Toy. And H-D doesn't care, they reeled in another sucker who pissed away a bike that will never be practical, and will give you range anxiety on longer rides.
