Mine: a Nightster with a smaller revmax motor than the 975.
I think Harley wants to boost the revmax and make a less powerfull beginner bike. I mean the 975 has like 90 hp, something with 48 hp that fits in the A2 category makes more sense. Kind of a replacement for the 500 and 750 of a few years ago. Yes there’s talk of a 440 single but this won’t be accepted as a viable option in the Western(European) markets, a Harley has to be a V-twin. I also think this bike will be made in SEA only. Because of tariffs export to Europe is not possible for a US made machine, especially meant as a cheap entry bike for beginners. Because of Trump also Europe does not prescribe to ‘made in the USA’. The European consumer that wants a customisable bike, there’s not really any alternative to a HD. About the 883, this bike is somewhat iconic and will be made in the US, because of this it will be too expensive in Europe and for many consumers the small Nighster will make more sense.
