It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Prices are coming down rapidly. A few years ago the Livewire One launched for $30k. This bike beats that one in several ways. Then consider how much you’ll save on servicing and fuel each year.

Livewire was Harley, right? I can see why they would want to anchor to the high price they get for their normal bikes.

Looks like more options and better battery tech are driving vehicle prices down either way, so glad to see it.
