Livewire S2 Del Mar - Quick Demo Ride
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 08. 2024
- I was recently in the market for a new bike. My top picks were the Livewire S2 Del Mar and the Suzuki GSX-8S. I ended up choosing the Suzuki due to shipping delays for the Livewire. I finally got to see the Livewire S2 Del Mar in person. I was only able to do a quick 5 minute demo ride on it, but I decided to record it so that I could share the experience.
This video does not contain any specs for the bike and I wasn’t able to talk about too much with the very limited time on the bike. I would like to do an extended ride review for this incredible motorcycle in the future. Hope you like the minimally edited footage that I got.
My initial thoughts about the bike:
-Riding position - Upright, naked bike stance with slight rearward foot peg angle. Comfortable.
-Seat - A little bit hard, the edges dig into the inside leg when both feet are down.
-Suspension - Adjustable front! Preload adjustable rear. Sporty, but handles bumps great.
-Brakes - Brembo front and back. Excellent stopping ability and brake feel.
-Fit and finish - Quality all around. This bike actually seems worth the asking price. Best electric bike I've ridden, ever.
-Controls - Dash and buttons feel great. Feels premium.
-Mirrors - Great look and position. They work well.
-Throttle - Smooth and linear, even in sport mode.
-Weight - Feels lightweight and very maneuverable.

It's Sunday 14th and a sunny day in Tucson. There's no break-in period cause it's a battery right? Only new tires you'd need to go easy on the first 100 miles. Brakes to some degree need break-in. Maybe in my future as well. Nice little first impression video 😊
Thanks! I like that there is very little maintenance on the Livewire.
I need one. Ill have one soon. They are so good looking and I love the sound (or no sound)
at the end you said "I like it better than this one"
Can you explain why ?
I currently have a Zero S, and I love it. I am an electric convert for the riding I do (UK streets and commuting)
But I am trying to work out what to upgrade to, and everywhere I look says Livewire over ANY Zero.
The question is HD Livewire or S2 del mar...
I can't find any real decent reviews on which one people prefer, just comparisons of specs rather than real opinions.
I like the Del Mar better than the Livewire One due to the riding position and weight distribution. The Livewire One felt top heavy and not as maneuverable when I first tried it out. It's been a few years since I rode it so I would recommend doing a test ride on both to see what you prefer. The Harley dealerships by me are more than happy to set up a comparison ride.
@@KSSTUDIOS yeah, I have been trying to arrange a test ride on both, but theres only 8 dealers in the UK that do test rides and the S2 hasnt been released here, so none are available for test rides (plus the closest is over 200 miles from me)
I am swaying towards the "one" as I like the cruising and the extra mileage and DC charging, But I do think I will miss the lightness and manouveribilty of my Zero S (the fun bits)
I am really torn, but thatnks for your feedback and keep up the good work
@@ceejays88 Did you end up getting the One? How it it? The Del Mar is available in the UK now!
Its worth it
I think so too! Can't wait to pick one of these up.
I bought a new Triumph Tiger Sport 660 almost 3 months ago. I'm a new rider just trying to enjoy my ride. I need advice: Should I start with this bike, my riding, or just find something smaller, used, and cheaper to get some confidence and later jump the tiger???
Are you having trouble with the Tiger Sport 660 as a new rider?
@KSSTUDIOS No, yet because I didn't even try to ride it. I'm just waiting for the spring season to get some classes in my local motorcycle school. After that, I'll know if I'm ready or not for the Tiger 660. I was just thinking how much it would cost me to fix the bike if I drop it. Real advice is what I need .
Thats were me and wife bought the livewire one and the del mar
It needs to be a short demo ride. There's next to no range.
desert wind harley good choice
