Kinda crazy that a company that tried (or actually did) copyright the “sound” of there engines has made the leap?
I guess I should have said trademark the v-twin sound -

Now, from the Livewire nomenclature :
"The gear set between the motor and the drive belt has been designed to produce a tone that increases in pitch and volume with speed, producing an exciting aural response to speed and acceleration." (I've experienced an exciting aural response to speed and acceleration - 'tho not from a motorcycle
)

indeed, it is a big intellectual jump for H-D. The performance of electrics are there. a lot of them do lack the visceral growl. but it is made up in other ways.
for anyone who is interested in the topic this is a great forum.

H-D is a publicly owned company stock-wise and is struggling to find a way to keep its rapidly diminishing "old school" demographic base served with the traditional look and sound BUT finding a path to respond to the needs of newer generations. Times are changing for sure. I have a foot in both worlds and look forward to an e-bike.
