Harley-Davidson Custom 1250 Prototype
This is the Harley-Davidsons all-new custom motorcycle with a muscular stance, aggressive, stripped down styling and 1250cc of pure performance, which is planned to be released in 2021.
At this prototype stage it appears that the Harley-Davidsons new modular, liquid-cooled, DOHC, v-twin engine will be used as well as fully adjustable suspension from Showa, Brembo monobloc brakes and Michelin tires.
The Custom takes a number of cues from Harley-Davidsons of the past and future.
Here is part of a press release on their future plans from Harley-Davidson:
Its a fast-changing world with new consumer demands. Alongside our existing loyal riders, we will lead the next revolution of two-wheeled freedom to inspire future riders who have yet to even think about the thrill of riding.
NEW PRODUCTS
We are planning our most comprehensive line-up of motorcycles. Highlights
include:
Extending the companys leadership in heavyweight motorcycles by continuing to develop improved, more technologically-advanced Touring and Cruiser motorcycles that will keep existing Harley-Davidson riders engaged and riding longer.
Introducing a new modular 500cc to 1250cc middleweight platform of motorcycles that spans three distinct product spaces and four displacements, starting with the companys first Adventure Touring motorcycle, the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250, a 1250cc Custom model and a 975cc Streetfighter model, all of which are planned to launch beginning in 2020. Additional models to broaden coverage in these product spaces will follow through 2022.
Developing a more accessible, small-displacement (250cc to 500cc) motorcycle for Asia emerging markets through a planned strategic alliance with a manufacturer in Asia. This new product and broader distribution is intended to fuel Harley-Davidsons customer access and growth in India, one of the largest, fastest growing markets in the world, and other Asia markets.
Leading the electric motorcycle market by launching Harley-Davidsons first electric motorcycle, LiveWire, in 2019 the first in a broad, no-clutch twist and go portfolio of electric two-wheelers designed to establish the company as the leader in the electrification of the sport. LiveWire will be followed by additional models through 2022 to broaden the portfolio with lighter, smaller and even more accessible product options to inspire new riders with new ways to ride.
