Expanding on Harley's line of middleweight models is the first
Harley-Davidson streetfighter motorcycle that is planned for
2020. Unapologetic modern style with enough performance and
agility to carve through city streets.
The water-cooled
V-twin engine has a capacity of 975cc and features a 60-degree V configuration
with large cylinder heads that hide a pair of double overhead camshafts.
Prototype has
17-inch spoke alloy wheels, with a front tyre of 20/70-17 and 80/55-17 at the
rear.
Keeping performance in check are a pair of cross-drilled discs up front with a
radial-mounted Monoblock callipers from Brembo. The rear on the other hand is
managed by a Harley-Davidson branded opposed-piston caliper and single
cross-drilled rotor.
Here is part of a press release on
their future plans from Harley-Davidson:
It’s 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 company’s 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 company’s 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-Davidson’s 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-Davidson’s 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.
