Hope it catches on, but wouldn't hold my breath. I visit a Harley dealership once, maybe twice a month and the LiveWire vibe is already gone. I just don't think dealers and the ride free or die crowd will accept anything that doesn't look like it's been designed by Willie G himself. It's been tried, Harley just doesn't change. The street 750 could have been a good platform to get new riders involved and maybe use that motor for building different (affordable) platform styled bikes. Nope, stick it in the back by the soda machine and ignore it, haven't seen one on the road for years. I've owned several HD, still do, but it won't be their $30K adventure bike.

That bike is so ugly. I'd rather look at my asshole in the mirror.

And you own a Grom?

PA is a helluva lot better looking than a GS, but I do concede that that's faint praise.

No beak FTW.

It better perform. ADV bike reviewers and critics don't put much stake in "heritage" and HD traditionalists aren't going to buy it.

Also, HD dealers and salespeople are going to have to back this up. IMO, the death of Buell, V-Rod, and the Street line of HDs was largely due to unenthusastic salespeople who bashed their own product line.

Agreed... as said it wont last. The profit margins for the dealers was greater for the Big Twins killing the sales for the "younger" models. HD pinning their hopes on tradition. They'll have the price point where younger riders can't afford them, the Big Twin riders arent going to trade in their rolling sofas for one. I see HD headed down the same road the British took.
