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.

The 'More Roads to Harley-Davidson' plan includes launching new products, providing broader access to customers, and improving the dealership network, and the Harley-Davidson customer experience.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
