They did try for a lower cost entry model that was more sporty. That didn't Pentwater the market at all. Like..at all at all.
Once these helmetless boomers die off, that company is up shits creek.
Fuck 'em.
They do have an electrical motorcycle branch that might keep the company alive if they lower prices. https://www.livewire.com/
Definitely won't be as big as it is now though.
Cheapest is 14.5k?? I get it's electric but God damn my Yamaha FJR1300 was 13k with 0 miles off the damn showroom floor (also, pro tip... don't ever buy a brand new bike) ;)
Edit: just looked at Yamaha website. A new FJR1300 is now 18.3k
wtf has everyone gonna insane???
"wtf has everyone gonna insane???" (sic)
Yes
Also fun fact the HD Livewire had a range of 75mi. lol
What's in those? A couple of D cells?
I double checked because my comment was based on memory.
LiveWire S2 Del Mar Zack from RZ got 66 miles to a "tank". lol
It has a 10.kWh battery. Estimated range from manufacturer: 113 miles.
There are four different models from LiveWire. Three of them have that same 10.5kWh battery.
One has a 15.4kWh battery. Estimated range: 146 highway/95 city miles.
So yeah, clearly only a couple D cells in those things. Cool bikes though, i will say.
