QuoteEarlier this month, Harley-Davidson announced its earnings (https://investor.harley-davidson.com/news/news-details/2025/Harley-Davidson-Delivers-First-Quarter-Financial-Results/default.aspx) for the first quarter of the year. That included details about the Livewire, the company's recent foray into electric motorcycles. That information had two very alarming components to it: the first was that Livewire sales were down 72% relative to the first quarter of 2024. The second is just how many Livewires were sold in the first quarter of 2025, which is to say: 33. Not 33,000; not 3,300. Fewer than three dozen.
