I've read and even posted reviews on this forum that missed one critical point about owning and commuting daily on a Livewire; the bike is awesome! The little coolant drip stopped just as the H-D engineers said it would, and the battery seems to be gaining storage, a bit, at the 600 mile mark. Fit and finish are exceptional. And while I'll probably never attempt a long journey on the bike, it's the most amazing commuting vehicle I've ever ridden, two or four wheels (and I'm 7 motorcycles, ??? sports cars, and ?? trucks into this life).
I wrestled hard with the decision to buy one. Not anymore. I suspect when it gets cooler, I may even get more battery life out of the machine as batteries tend to operate better around 60F than 90F. But for now, I'm happy with mine. You look where you want to be, and you're there.
Additionally, I get comments almost daily from people complimenting it, or asking what it is. ...What is it? Only the most amazing riding experience I've ever owned, and I can't wait to trailer it to the mountains where I first learned to ride sport bikes, scraping pegs on mountain accents. Hopefully I live.
BTW, sport mode is the best! You just have to hold on.
