LiveWire Has a New EV Motorcycle Coming Soon, But Who Is It For?

Full stop, I loved the first Harley-Davidson LiveWire. I rode it on the Brooklyn Formula E track way back when it first debuted, and me and one of the brand's marketing leads—what's up, Laurence!—had an absolute ball hanging at the back of the pack and shredding the track. It had power.…

Harley's X440 Is Doing So Well, Hero's Going To Make Even More Harleys

Harley-Davidson's Warranty Policies are Predatory Says Owners' Lawsuit

While my law experience is attempting to get out of a few—read many—speeding tickets over the years, there's always been something about contract law that irks me. And that's how aftermarket parts can void warranties. I understand that if you throw on a turbocharger or add nitrous to a UTV, hence…

Harley-Davidson Can't Afford Trump's Proposed Tariffs

As a quick economics refresher, here's how tariffs work. A company imports either a product or part of a product from a country that isn't where they're based. They cost, let's say, $20 before tariffs. The company then sells that product for $30 to the consumer, netting themselves a small profit.…

I'm Confused By Harley-Davidson's MotoGP "Test"
