What I'd suggest to the OP is to test ride something else before you shell out $30K for a Harley. |
Can you really buy the Lightening Strike?
Looking at their web site you can buy the $40,000 Superbike. You can put a deposit down on the Strike, which was supposed to be shipping months ago. And they are going to ship the Carbon Fiber version first, which is an extra $10,000.
As far as I can tell the Strike is Vaporware. Really the only competition for the Livewire right now is the Energica and the Zero. If the Strike ever comes to market I'll take one for a test ride.
I've said before I don't have $30K for the Livewire. I'm not really in the market for an electric bike. I'll probably take a Zero for a test ride, I rode one of their bikes a few years ago and was impressed with it.
