The problem is that H-D has to attract some of those BMW, Honda, Ducati, KTM, Yamaha and other riders or this has been a wasted effort. H-D really does have to beat the competitors on price and or features to do so. I don't know that a particularly good paint job is what's going to sell bikes in that market segment.

Default Custom 1250

MCN-UK is reporting that H.D. will introduce the Custom 1250 model in 2021. The article is dated December 9. I haven't seen any other reports on this news. Hopefully if the do introduce the Bronx, Cafe Racer, or Street Tracker; they'll have the 1250 engine. There's still no word on the new ohv 4 valve per cylinder engine whose blueprints were revealed earlier in the year.

As always just an opinion.
I think just as they got the Livewire right before releasing it Im betting they did the same with the PA. They have a lot riding on it.
