Two more (proposed) "21st century" Harleys to add to the Pan America adventure bike ( https://www.cycleworld.com/harley-davidson-pan-ame... ) and the Bronx road bike ( https://www.cycleworld.com/harley-davidson-bronx ).

This is the biker banter section, not for Harleys.

I like the flat tracker look although the line drawing of the rear plate carrier looks a bit odd.

Are they going to be made in India then? A budget Bronx could be tempting.

I've a Harley in my garage and love her to bits - most bikes in the same category are better every way but there is something unique about chugging along on the v-twin

Don't know who these bikes are aimed at, they are up against established models who are likely to be better quality, much cheaper and perform better but fingers crossed. I'm try and keep an eye on Harley related news and how the company is performing, seemingly falling (fallen) share price and changes in leadership.

The tails of both of these bikes look odd, but then the FXDR and Fat Bob aren't great in that department. Maybe their strategy is to give an obvious starting point for customisation. I will look forward to seeing them for real, but good on Harley for continuing to innovate, and please try and keep the cost down otherwise they will never come close to appealing to their new target market

Quite like the retro cafe racer in black, not that I would buy one myself. The Bronx is a step in the right direction, if/when they fit the larger capacity more poke version of that engine.

Wonder if it will outrun GSXR1000s too




Certainly a good take on the XLCR which was a flop at the time but I believe very desirable now.
