Shane Shakey Byrne rides the new Harley Sportster S Vs Live Wire EV motorcycles - full review

- Harley Davidson LiveWire EV Vs new Sportster S V-twin; it's two wheeled time with Shakey again. In other words, Byrne out II.
Late Brake Show's resident bike warrior Shane Shakey Byrne rides Harley Davidson's most technically advanced combustion bike against Harley's early-to-market LiveWire electric bike (150 mile range, 0-60 in 3 sec). Both shake off many HD cliches, but also made us both look twice at the styling and engineering.
In the piston corner Shakey had the Sportster S. Not to be confused with Sportsters of old, this thing is a liquid cooled 1252cc twin with VVT, DOHC and 120bhp. It isn't a clattery old studded leather garden implement - this is a chiselled, capable modern weapon. The back end looks like a chopped down flat tracker, and the front wheel/tyre is as wide as most sports bike rear tyres.
But the real fascination came from the Harley LiveWire. Soon to become its own standalone brand name, Harley brought the LiveWire to market some 2 years ago, beating the Japanese, Italians and German legacy bike brands standing and staring. Who'd have thought it?

Once again, Shakey gives us the goods. There are plenty of other bike reviews out there, none like this guy!! I have been onboard this from the moment Jonny posted the interview with Shakey Byrne. I am a Motorcycle guy that loves cars, So, naturally this is my favorite channel. Shane and Jonny, this is just better than it should be. Like, this could be done way worse, and I would probably still watch it. ;)
great review. I can't wait to jump back onto a bike, true petrol head that's waiting to afford a first EV car and eventually a bike. The scene can only get better from here with more chargers, better range on batteries and some stunning vehicles coming through in 2 and 4 wheels.
Shakey has been such a nice addition to The Late Brake Show so far, really enjoy these kind of episodes!
Man, I'm not into bikes by any stretch of the imagination, however, Shane has such raw genuine charisma that you cant help but be enticed.
He definitely needs his own TLBS parady t-shirt, "Shakey Breaky Heart".
Keep up the great content 👏🏻 👍🏻 🎩
Genius! I’d definitely buy one of those 👏🏻.
Shakey Brakey Heart? 😃
YOU NEED TO RIDE!! I THINK YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND SET.
This channel is rubbing shoulders in terms of quality with the best of TV and the internet as a whole. Lovely channel.
Kai, many thanks for this comment. It means a lot.
This works even better than your first one. Fantastic sense of fun, and engaging even to non-bikers. Well done!
Many thanks Kevin. We continue to explore the content variety
Shane is super talented as a presenter/reviewer as he is a rider, almost surprised by how brilliant he is!
Watching that launch control I was thinking "well that's going to be an accident!" fair play he knows how to handle a situation like that; he didn't even seem phased by it...he's a grade A nutter, perfect for reviewing bikes on this channel! Jonny's a lucky boy to have such a capable and interesting friend to help him do these reviews. MORE PLEASE :P this channel is golden.
Considering the extent of his injuries in 2018 it is amazing he can still walk, let alone ride and rip a motorbike.
Shane's job prior to pro racer, was grade a nutter, old school journo. He's just gone back to his roots
I don't ride bikes, and had barely heard of Shakey. The fact that this was so watchable to me says loads about his charisma, and your production values. Really enjoyable, and interesting watch.
Paul, this is music to our ears. Thanks for deciding to watch the vid and give this feedback, chap.
The best 30 mins tv I've watched in ages, Shakey is a legend!
Darren 👊🏽
I had the pleasure of meeting Shakey numerous times when I was a sports photographer and whether on the grid, or on the pits or out and about in Kent he was always just so straight forward, chatty and accommodating, some of my best pics were of him pushing the bike to the absolute limit as he pushed towards the finishing line and I will always be grateful to him for that as it pushed my photography skills to the limit lol 😂 Fantastic addition to the channel!!
Blimmin excellent! What a joy to hear Shakey talking about his love of bikes and giving some honest opinions on both of these. Top work fellas.
Nice one, Shakey! Staying on top of Jonny's key foibles and holding out for a proper lunch at Morrison's. AND doing a kick ass review!
Shaky is a great addition to the channel. The Shaky Brakey show just got even better.
Gray, thank you. Thanks for supporting the channel.
Absolutely loving Shakey. I never knew of him before being in the channel, but he’s great!!
Just brilliant, loved Shaky when he raced and think he make a great addition to the late brake show .
Many thanks David - glad you approve
Love to see motorcycle content! And having ridden both the new Sportster S and the LiveWire One, it's crazy to think they're both from the same company that made chromed-out cruisers in my youth
I was once overtaken by someone in a hurry on a Harley piglet, I was on a KH100.
Shakey is a natural... Fantastic edition to the late brake show.
👍🏻
Livewire peel out was legendary
I thought he might end up in the hedge!
I'm 68-years-old and have had a lifetime of ICE vehicles, I am SO over internal combustion engines. I've had everything from an Austin Healy Sprite to a `68 Shelby GT500 to an S2000, I currently have a Tesla Model 3 and it often makes me laugh spontaneously at how much fun it is. Instant torque is pretty addicting.
Same here. Grew up w gear head even after owning 50 cars,trucks and motorcycles all I want is to just jump in and ride no fuss. Don't miss the noise at all or the constant tweaking
I read your autobiography on the back of the announcement that you’d be doing TH-cam, well I listened to the audiobook, it’s great to see you here, and I’m looking forward to learning more from you. (Not into motorbikes, but you might persuade me).
More bikes - More Shane 👍👍great to see you back on two wheels…….
Great 2nd episode. Really enjoying this series and review format. Well done all.
What a great pairing in presenters and bikes, it's a revolution, love this channel! With the addition of Shakey, I feel next level entertainment is coming! Bike barn finds I hear you say!?
This is properly class - having the bikes tested side by side like that is a really neat idea. TLBS certainly swaying me in to 'bike guy' territory - my wife will be SO pleased! Also, Shane is a natural at this presenting/reviewing malarkey.
Great to hear that we are becoming an influence on you Murray.
1st visit and wow, what a review! As good at this as he was at racing. Really enjoyed it and look forward to more videos with Shakey on bikes, cheers.
Great video guy’s, always nice to see you riding through my village and catching a glimpse of my house on a couple of occasions too… the electric Harley actually the best looking bike from across the pond that I would have… nice work…👍
My biking days sadly had to stop when the kids came along but this sort of content is golden. So great to see shakey being so humble and real when he's clearly a god! Such a great video. More please.
Same here but the ev is much more appealing, I really think the ice version is prehistoric and didn’t appeal to me at all. If I had the money all my vehicles would be electric.
This got me digging out photos of my old Sportster S from 2004, loved that bike.
Good video guys.👍
Absoultely superb! Really enjoyed Shakey's opinion on these two bikes, such an honest and informative review. Keep em coming!
Great review once again. Covered all the relevant stuff and the most important bit for me was Shakey's personal opinion as a petrol head biker who races bikes. Loved the launch and his control with the traction control off.
Looking forward to his next one. Please.
Late to the party here but loved this vid. Shakey is relaxing into this role nicely. I think there is some really *great* content yet to come. Loved the part where he figured out how to turn off the TC on the Livewire! I also love how open-minded he is without losing the essence of what it is to be a fan of bikes. Keep 'em coming.
Brilliant video and I didn’t realise you had Shakey doing bike videos!! Please more of these.
We do Paul. Welcome to Byrne Out on TLBS.
Not a motorcycle rider but truly enjoyed your collaboration. Well done 🎈
What a legend. What a series. Top job chaps. Oh and by the way, I couldn’t see where that rubber would have come from either.
So good guys, keep up the good work. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Great vid, thanks guys, smashing double act!. I don't ride anymore, but I do like the live wire more than I thought I would.
Nice to see some filming in my home village of Witcombe nr Gloucester, also nice to see Shakey trying the new Harley ev bike...
Currently in the process of purchasing a Livewire, haven’t ridden motorcycles since I was a kid on my brother’s RM80. So I know I can ride but won’t be looking for the clutch like a lot of riders. I consider the sportster S but since I had an injury in both wrists before I think the ride would be smoother riding the Livewire. Actually I do remember 10 yrs ago riding a friend’s bike around the block a few times and the vibration put my wrists in pain. Hence why I’m getting the LW. Thank you for a great video I’ve been absorbing everyone’s vast knowledge on bikes. Here on YT, i is very much appreciated 🙏🏼.
Great content as usual. As others have mentioned not massively interested in Bikes but I enjoyed this.
Also, a burnout without an exhaust note is properly strange.
Good work boyos
Great work Shakey you and Jonny make a fantastic team
Great stuff. I loved all of this and the thoughts while riding are great, well thought out and explained. Great to see some EV bike stuff coming up and those bikes in their own areas look really cool, definitely a different style than Harleys of old, great to see them keeping up and staying with the times. Great stuff all round.
Catching up with the latest episode of Byrne Out.
Oh my goodness, did not disappoint! And when Shakey turned the traction control off it looked like it was going to throw him off ! Both bikes look beautiful, if I were to walk into a Harley Davidson showroom it would have to be the live wire for me. Just looked so much better on the road.
Would be great if Shakey could do a episode at the TT this year. First one since 2019! So much looking forward to it 🏍️
Love bikes, love V twins, love driving EV ... loved this episode! The Jonny and Shakey Show worked really nicely. Looking forward to more.
Shane is a natural presenter.
Keep up the great work chaps 👍
I ride an electric bike for work, and it's actually quite nice to cruise around town in near silence, without having to worry about all those gear changes. And because you're riding in silence, you can actually talk to pedestrians; "after you" "thank you" "you're welcome". Kinda makes it a pleasant experience all round. But the Live Wire is just way too expensive. Great video Jonny, and Shakey.
Brilliant shakey. Really engaging and enjoyable review. Look forward to more.
Enjoyed this. It’s amazing that Harley have beaten the big 4 Japanese companies to the EV market
This was fascinating, as the owner of a Japanese V-Twin, I have been wondering about how electric bikes are going to go. I have the obligatory e-Bike for cycling, but getting rid of the infernal Combustion engine bike feels like a long way off, maybe that is not quite the case? I am not sure that I can ride a Harley though! 😁🤣
Gotta be my new favourite series, I love this!
1:07 I mouthed 'Fuck me' at this bit. I never dared give it the full beans from a standing start on my RSV4 but I bet this is something else with that torque being so instant.
We enjoy seeing different reviews and thoughts on the LiveWire - We purchased and have been riding LiveWire's since 2020 - Extremely Happy with LiveWire 🤙
Sportster S owner here. Loved every second of this.
Great vid. Glad you got Shakey back again on that side of things.
Over here in USA, Harley is 'Loud and Proud' in terms of noise levels. Not sure this version of the Sportster would fit the mold. I really wasn't sure if he was riding a Harley or a Suzuki. Love the LiveWire!
Love these bike reviews! More please 🙏
Having seen the series about the Harley EV going the full length of South America and up through Central America, I don't think Shakey should worry about finding charging points! He's a great addition to the channel, even as a non-biker, I really enjoyed this episode.
There's a guy on You Tube called Matt Laidlaw who is a Harley dealer in the US. He showed a Sportster S recently that had been Stage One'd. The exhaust note was a pleasant surprise in that, it sounded like a traditional Harley and I think the power was increased slightly too....
Brilliant, really enjoyed that... Would love to see him tackle some off road machines
Love it ! More from Shakey & thnaks for an electric review. Can we see his view of teh Lightening LS-218 please?
Yeah, that is a good shout.
Superb content Johnny and Shakey, thankyou!
So brilliant to see Shakey again :)
Great fun gezza .. lol
😊👍
Loved Shakey's reviews, his enthusiasm shines through!
I don't ride bikes but I'm really enjoying Shakey's video's, keep them up :)
Great review. At that price, you could have an electric scooter an old school Harley. Best of both worlds.
I was excited about it and got to participate in the demo tour at spots around the country pre production. The price, I can’t afford it!
Great video both. So glad that wasn’t a high side
More please! Another superb episode and exciting to see that bikers have little to fear from the EV revolution.
dam fast becoming one of my top 3 channels
Cheers for the review Shakey! As someone who drives a Tesla Model S and owns a 2020 Speed Triple RS, I'm very very tempted to trade that, but would probably be for a Zero. The only thing holding me back at the moment, is the charging. It's fine with a Tesla, when you go on a road trip and need to charge, there's Superchargers everywhere. But the places I go on the bike around Connecticut, just don't really have chargers. So I'm potentially going to get stuck. Also I would really miss the sweet sound of the 1050 triple going through the arrows cans...
A great comparison review by Shakey. Even better than I could have imagined. "My bad!"
Shane n Jonny, great show, informative info from a biker nut, everyone's biking future is assured whether it's electron or explosive propulsion.
👏👍
I’m not that interested in bikes, but this was an enjoyable and interesting episode.
That new sportster had my attention after owning an 89 xlx. 58 cafe upgrade with that look? I’m in.
Great move to have Shakey join the team. Love the content boys👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome content! I'm not a big fan of Harley after what they did to Alta but it's hard not to enjoy this. Shakey can definitely work a bike, definitely give him his own segment!
That ev looks stunning, HD have knocked it out the park.
New vid, and not a car, Awesome!! Thanks Jonny
Brilliant video guys.
Great video lads … I would miss the sound and the price tags stiff! Would consider in the future I’ll stick with my speed triple just now… you not got your license @carpervert?
Great comparison thank you for that insight
Extremely good review Shane and Johnny. I am looking to swap my super naked BMW S1000r very soon. Its still gonna be a KTM Superduke though
Top vid. If we're going to see more of the same then pretty soon you'll have to feature some smaller machines, which I'm looking forward to. That said, if you offered me one of those two bikes as a gift I'd definitely take the livewire.
Haven’t got a bike licence but still watched. The bit where he skidded off in spowart mode (on the electric bike) would have had me poop myself.
Me too Rob!
Glad you're getting some bikes in! You should chat to some motovloggers on here as your in helmet mic setup was pretty bad at some points, but otherwise great job
Thanks Jamie, yes we are already looking at Sena helmet mics. We are learning!
Great film, and I do enjoy ‘the new lad’
That livewire burn out sounds like a blender! I'd still take the livewire though, electric bikes certainly are easy to ride. I had a go on a KTM Freeride and was well Impressed. Another top notch video lads.
The irony that Harley has a patent on the sound of their bikes, and this bike sounds to this Aussie like a Honda postie bike. Cheers for the vid, would really like to see/hear the sportster with an exhaust kit though.
You can’t have the sound my friend unless you can put up with the antique tech.
Getting that livewire next spring. Can’t wait
Great review, thanks 👍🏻
More bike content please. Great review.
Really enjoying shaky and Jonny together. Interesting section about the future and existing. Totally agree with the sound of that bike. How can It have two big exhaust like that and not sound like a Harley?😂 By the way, you probably know this, but I think you can get bike phone holders that don't shake 👍
Quad lock vibration dampener - it’s supposed to shake like that as it will remove the high frequency vibrations and prevent your phone camera stabilisation going kaput. The low vibrations cause it to shake- but won’t ruin the phone.
@@thekingoftwinkle thanks for the info. Can it be used on a mountain bike as well? I'm getting the same thing if you're going. Off-road
@@Android-vk8yh Yes will work… but you won’t need it as the vibrations on the mountain bike won’t cause issues with the phone.
Bikes are not my thing but an enthusiastic expert is always interesting. The skill and control that Shane has is wonderful to see. I test drove my first electric car yesterday. The acceleration is so smooth and always on tap. My only hesitancy is charging on the couple of long trips I take a year. As a daily use vehicle, the electrics just seem better.
Shakey? Yep! Undo own bolts by starting? Yep! vibey? Yep! but i like the older ones! and for me, from being a child when i first heard then spotted the Harley making that noise, that's what I like & wanted & love! For future generations and the good of us all, this'll do chap, this'll do.
Shakey is a proper bike man very knowledgeable .he's a brilliant addition to this channel. What's not to like 😁😁👍👍👍
Mr B presentation top notch! Nice one! I think I’d rather have an iron 883 and bumble along . It’s the last old school new build classic available.
I love my Iron 883, my first bike and it’s great at putting a smile on your face enjoying the Kent A and B roads without losing your license 👍 what the Harley haters mock is it’s Sportster name, however it was a sports bike when launched to compete against the new Triumph Thunderbird, BSA Rockets and other Brit bikes in1957 and has a really successful competition history. I’d love a Panigale to take care of the other side of me though 😁
I love it when haters say.. it’s a girls bike. I reply “ too bloody right! I’m fighting em off with a stick! They all effin love it and want a ride. Mission accomplished. ♥️🤣🙏🏼
Loving this, more of it👍
Was that filmed around painswick/brockworth Gloucestershire ?
Great video Jonny and Shakey keep it up as we need more electric bikes one of the Pizza company’s using electric scooter’s
I've never really ridden/owned anything other than Japanese supersports bikes so why do I have so much love for the LiveWire? :) Great vid Shakey.
Try one. Really impressive bike.
@@TheLateBrakeShow I will. It's shocking (hahah SWIDT?) how far behind the Japanese manufacturers are with electric 'bikes. I took a ride on a Zero DSR recently, it was fantastic. But (and it's a big "but"), I can't charge where I live (and Denmark's charging infrastructure is utter rubbish outside cities) so EVs are not on the cards for me right now :( I had to sell my i3 for this reason alone :( (I am still sadness)
Great video! Not a bike fan but these have been great, can’t help but feel that Jonny is cheating on Richard with a car park lunch though 😂
Oh Ashley, I won't tell if you dont
I’ve had an electric bike for over two years and I’ll never go back. I thought I’d miss the sound and vibration but without those two things distracting you you’re left to focus on your ride and your surroundings and not just your bike. It’s a completely different sensation like flying and I find that I’m more relaxed and aware of what’s going on around me. As far as looks go, is it as cool looking as a Harley? Probably not by most people’s standards, but who buys a bike based solely on it’s looks (besides a Harley rider)?
