LiveWiire vs Zero SR/F comparison video
« on: September 02, 2022, 09:49:47 AM »
Here is a long video of a direct comparison between the LiveWire One and the Zero SR/F electric motorcycles by Yammie Noob. While I hate most of his reviews and his attitude, this review is one of his better ones, mostly because both bikes are ridden side-by-side and you can make your own judgement regarding his evaluation based upon what you see:
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

This is an interesting review. I've ridden the Zero SR/F and it feels a great bike. Suited the the riding and distance I travel on a regular basis.
It was after riding on of these I bought my Brammo Empulse!!  Less than a third the cost.  I've not seen a livewire and there are no Harley Davidson dealers near me anymore. It looks a quality bike. Both come at too high a price sadly, the product is evolving fast. Energica added 70% more battery and lighter also. Three year old bikes look embarrassed.
Motorcycling in the UK is fading, scooter sales are good but superbike sales are no match for 40 years ago. People younger than 50 have little intrest. Towns and cities often have no dealerships anymore. My town ( 70k pop) had 5 back in the late 70's. None now or in the two nearest cities.

In Northern California some cities are now prohibiting the construction of new petrol stations or even new pumps at existing stations. The push for "zero emission" transportation is already on - at least it is for politicians.
