"Project LiveWire is more like the first electric guitar – not an electric car," said Mark-Hans Richer, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. "It's an expression of individuality and iconic style that just happens to be electric. Project LiveWire is a bold statement for us as a company and a brand."
The bike offers a visceral riding experience with tire-shredding acceleration and an unmistakable new sound.
"The sound is a distinct part of the thrill," said Richer. "Think fighter jet on an aircraft carrier. Project LiveWire's unique sound was designed to differentiate it from internal combustion and other electric motorcycles on the market."

Fighter jet?  Did I really just read that?  I just spent 10 days on the USS Nimitz watching F/A 18s take off and that analogy is beyond silly.  SJ Ron :)

I think it needs a stage 1 speaker to amp up the sound.

Thinking of that, I am sure that a sound system would really kill the battery.

Don't get caught in the rain on it!  zzzzzzzzzzzt

Not a bad idea but a touring bike may work better, more room for batteries when the engine is removed then drop the electric motor where the trans is.

I'm at a loss - who is the MoCo going to sell these to?  The Greenpeace/Vegan folks seem more like Vespa people.  I guess HD will be coming out with hemp jeans and riding sandals next.
