LiveWire $17,000 Price Cut Might Be The Deal of The Century. Or a Portent of Doom

Unlike a lot of motorcycle journalists, I actually liked the LiveWire One when it first debuted. It wasn't called the LiveWire One at the time; it was the Harley-Davidson LiveWire.That's all changed thanks to LiveWire being spun off from Harley, but when I got the opportunity to ride it on the Brooklyn Formula E circuit back in the day, man, it was a solid motorcycle. A little underbraked, but through the corners, you barely felt its quarter-ton curb weight.

What wasn't good, and what everyone rightly pointed out, was the motorcycle's asking price: $30,000 and change. Even as Harley called it a "halo" model, it was too "halo" for what the bike offered, for what the bike was, and for what Harley needed the motorcycle to do for the space. And that's with it being in The Avengers, too.
