Would You Buy a Used Livewire for the Right Price?

Used examples are incredibly cheap right now.

Yes.

But that isn't the right price yet.

Get me an orange first strike with under 5k miles and under $10k and I'll take it.

Even for free, the bike is just too damned small.

Recharging time makes it a big NO.
Its limited range is a big NO.
Lack of charging stations is a big NO.
Cost of battery replacement is a big NO.
Because it is not a touring bike is a big NO.
Even if the bike was free, it would be a big NO.
And the tail up in the air makes it look like a shrimp, which is a big NO.

Throw in a gently used 2014+ twin cam Road King and I'm in.

Of course but I'd buy any bike " for the right price" and flip it if not keep it.
