I can get it... it looks decent... Obviously it's not for me, but i do like it.There’s very little info about the new model available but we do know it will be powered by Harley’s new water-cooled 1250cc 60-degree V-twin Revolution engine. Harley have already said the new engine produces ‘at least’ 145bhp and 90lb.ft of torque, although we imagine it will be retuned for less power and more torque in the Custom.
Harley have also said the new engine will be modular as the Bronx was originally slated to be 975cc, which could be perfect for an entry-level A2 compliant cruiser.
So when will we see it in UK dealers? The whispers are that Harley-Davidson are moving to a traditional ‘European style’ unveil cycle; expect the bike to be shown in full in November 2021, in dealers the following Spring

Re: Harley-Davidson 1250
Reminds me of the old Bloodrunner bike cartoons with the big balloon tyres. I bet it's a proper lorry.
I'd like it better if those pipes could be...not there.

Re: Harley-Davidson 1250
Hard to see who it’s going to appeal to. Traditional Harley riders are a conservative bunch who don’t like change (the V rod is a case in point) and I can’t see non Harley riders being tempted away from the European and Japanese alternatives.

Re: Harley-Davidson 1250
I actually quite like the OP.
I"d have it as a 4th or 5th bike maybe, but it'd seldom get used.
