It's a big deal for me when I have to do slow speed maneuvers that require to be on and off the throttle often, it upsets the bike's balance.  For that reason I don't like to do gymkhana on the Empulse.

Another miss by H-D.  When it comes to making bad business decisions, it is hard to beat the Motor Company: What were they thinking?  ::)

Well looks like the Livewire is a flop it's a $30k electric motorcycle you can't even charge at home.  Not impressed and they wouldn't let me ride one.

Well, now, all seems well again in Harley Land (or at least what passes for "well")...


A spokesperson for Harley-Davidson issued the following statement saying that production and delivery of the motorcycle have resumed:

Motorcyclist Magazine MC Commute


My experience trying to find one to ride has put me off to this bike and I didn't want to fork over $300 to rent one to make a ride video of it.  It's like HD is trying not to sell the bike.  Looks pretty nice, it has that Harley Davidson touch if you like that.  It's seems similar to a SR/F and it has DC Fastcharging.

According to that ride it looks like he was gonna get something like a 70 miles range.  So pretty much the same as an Empulse.  He was getting on it on it though.

Looks like it has similar connectivity like the SR/F also.
