SNEAK PREVIEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON CUSTOM CRUISER
WOW! Harley-Davidson has let us take a look at its cards and has shown a small film snippet of the Custom Cruiser.
Sporty genes
As you can see, it's hitting the road with the new Revolution Max 1250 engine. I think Harley-Davidson's new directions are pretty fierce, if you look at the technical data of the new engine, it's going to be a rocket on two wheels, at least by Harley-Davidson standards.

The cruiser looks very compact and is equipped with a solo seat, which has just been turned the other way on the Street Bob 114 by Solo Seat, which now also has room for a pillion.
More of a power cruiser
Now let's take a look at the performance data of the Pan America: Power kW (hp)/rpm: 112 (152)/8,750, Torque: 128 Nm/rpm: 6,750. According to my information, it reaches a top speed of 220 km/h without luggage.
The only question is, why did they show the Custom Cruiser now?
Originally the naked bike was planned for this spring, but it hasn't really been registered yet and according to previous information it won't arrive until late. However, according to Harleysite information, the Bareknuckle is already in the pipeline and might emerge from the underground this summer.
Next question, is the naked bike the Bareknuckle? If so, we are in for a surprise. The new frame and engine construction of the Revolution-Max engine is a flexible modular design and would allow for quick moves.
The new Revolution-Max has certainly started a new Harley-Davidson era. After the demise of the Sportster, something had to happen. I can only imagine that more models from the Revolution-Max series will be launched in the short term with the Custom Cruiser and the Bareknuckle, so that Harley-Davidson dealers can fill the Sportster gap.
But the fact is, the Revolution series is in no way the Sportster successor! Unfortunately, we haven't heard anything about the real Sportster successor yet, but it will come, the only question is when!
