Harley-Davidson Streetfighter Could Be Called 'Bareknuckle'

It was in July 2018 that Harley-Davidson announced its 'More Roads To Harley-Davidson' program wherein it was revealed that Harley-Davidson will break mould and develop motorcycles beyond cruisers. Keeping this in mind, the company showcased the 'Pan-America 1250' and the 'Streetfighter'. The naked streetfighter in particular caught our attention, with the initial photographs showing a sharply designed prototype. And now, reports suggest that Harley-Davidson has filed a trademark for the name 'Bareknuckle' in USA. Although, the trademark is yet to be granted! Yes, these are early days but if one were to join the dots, a name like 'Bareknuckle' will be suited to a naked streetfighter.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
