Expert Statements
Jon Bekefy, Head of Commercial at LiveWire
“The next generation of riders is coming up on e-bikes and electric vehicles, so their expectations for mobility are changing. For many, an electric motorcycle is a more natural first step into motorcycling. The S4 Honcho removes traditional barriers to entry and paired with MSF’s world-class training programs; Honcho gives new riders a more approachable way to learn safely and build confidence. That matters for LiveWire, and it matters for the future of motorcycling.”
Corey Eastman, Director of Rider Education Expansion for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
“We're happy to have LiveWire's Honcho join our training demo fleet at the MSF RiderCoach Tour. This gives our coaches an opportunity to experience an electric motorcycle in several MSF exercises while broadening the range of options available to training providers as they consider motorcycles for their programs.”
