Custom Harley-Davidson LiveWire In Charity Auction

Harley-Davidson has built a one-off custom LiveWire electric motorcycle to be auctioned by Bonhams for a COVID-19 fundraiser. The Bonhams online auction for the unique electric motorcycle is now underway and will run until May 26, 2020. The auction is open only for bidders in the US, and proceeds will go to United Way's COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund. United Way is a non-profit organization that works with almost 1,200 offices throughout the US in a coalition of charitable organisations to pool efforts in fundraising and support. The unique custom Harley-Davidson LiveWire seems to get cosmetic updates, including a special paint scheme, and a graphics package designed specifically for the bike by Harley-Davidson's styling and design team.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen.
