WARNING: PUI
I rode a Livewire on a demo day, and it was amazing. I'd never operated an electric vehicle other than a forklift before I rode that bike, I was ready for the lack of clutch but I wasn't ready for how fast it jumped when I first hit the "gas".
But then I saw the price tag. $15,000 would have been a bit too much, but it's a Harley. $10,000 I would have bought it. But they wanted $30,000 for it. That's CVO money for a short commuter or bar hopper.
The pan-am is a cool bike for sure, I sat on one the day I bought my Nightster and it was ~8k more, but I really considered the financial gymnastics because I would have loved it. I tried a sportster S, which has a de-tuned version of the pan-am engine. It was really quick but the seating position wasn't for me. The Nightster has mid controls and is very lightweight. It's a lot easier to ride long distances, but the Pan Am would probably be more comfortable.
