Bravo harley!!!!!!!! The is no choice but to boldly move forward with change and innovation to lure younger folks. I like tradition too but we old farts need to be happy that the moco is trying to be the lead brand for the future. DONT underpowered these new bikes!!!! They must be just as explosive as the rice burners.

Just saw this on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/harley-davidson/videos/10155759572535765/UzpfSTc0NTY2MTQ4OToxMDM3MzAyMjkzMDk4MDk4/
Looks pretty crazy. Adventure bikes. Sport bikes. Electric motorcycles and mountain bikes.
I hope it's true.

2020 Harley-Davidson Streetfighter
2020 Custom
The new internal-combustion machines shown here are the harbingers of 16 new middleweight models using two all-new engines, one that will be 500 and 750cc and the other that will be 975 and 1,250cc, all liquid-cooled, 60-degree V-twins with DOHC. These will power adventure-tourers, customs, and streetfighters and put Harley-Davidson in segments it’s never directly competed in before.
Noted that they said...
The Motor Company was careful to point out it will continue to develop and evolve existing touring and cruiser models for its traditional customer base...
It is interesting to note that in the video the first dirt-riding images shown at 1:17 appear to be the Sportster off-roaders built by neo-custom iconoclasts El Solitario for its Desert Wolves adventure in the Sahara and are therefore air-cooled and not Pan Americas as described in the press release.
The silence was deafening in all of this as the word “Sportster” wasn’t part of the discussion. The likelihood that these new liquid-cooled middleweight twins are replacements for the Sportster line is low, so expect news in Harley-Davidson’s more traditional custom space. There is also the “adventure Sportster” shown in the video that suggests continued life for the air-cooled platform. “I wouldn’t jump to a conclusion that this product is necessarily a replacement for Sportster,” Kumbier

Looks a lot like a VROD Muscle. I like it too, but how many will buy this as a practical motorcycle... that's always the issue, they look great but they don't sell all that well.
