That is a question I have. Is this the 1250 RevMax out of the Sportster S or from the PanAmerica?
I would hope it was the PanAmerica version (higher HP). Granted we have not seen any "specifications"
about on what was changed, like cams gearing, etc...

I had forgotten about it but it could well be a pan am st modified a bit so would be the 150HP output engine.

It's an interesting concept & one that would appeal to some folks. I wouldn't buy one myself. Not because of the aesthetic but it's not built for the kind of riding I'm into. It looks fun as hell. And I would ride the fire out of it, but it's not the kind of fun I need to be having. LoL. And honestly I would rarely use it.

As far as the looks go. It is what it is. I think its a little bit like the villain "Two-Face" from the Batman comics. They need to pick an aesthetic and go with it. Either make the whole thing look raw, naked & mechanical or make it all look smoothed over. Either would be an improvement. But not a fan of doing one on one side & one on the other.

Personally I would like them to build something closer to this on that engine. I would be interested in a mini Road King kind of bike for less money than a full size touring bike. Something a little smaller & cheaper than a Lowrider ST with more a little more suspension travel. But not as tall as the Pan America & with a more cruiser vibe.

They already made a "Mini" Road King albeit with the then current Twin Cam (big twin) called a Dyna "Switchback" 2012-16 ... They quit making it

I agree. Maybe a road race style fairing to enclose the radiator and engine sides?
