I seriously doubt it will have a carb - to meet modern clean air requirements around the world it will likely be fuel injected and have a catalyst in the exhaust.  For the same reasons that air cooled cars went away year ago - it is most likely air cooled motorcycles will become scarce or non existent.  When you tweak the pollution output of an engine they run much hotter - and longevity of the engine often requires the use of water cooling.

Since they have labeled it "Sprint" - perhaps it could be a single.  

Dave makes some good points.  If it’s carburetored, I’ll be shocked.  While some people like a carbed bike for simplicity, the entire universe has gone fuel injected.

Regardless of what type engine HD puts in it, I expect the bike to be a sales flop.  HD is way too late to the party and the competition is fierce for street bikes under 500cc and around $6k.

The list is long… The Triumph 400 setting the bar high.  And then there’s…

Kawasaki Eliminator
Honda Rebel 300
Royal Enfield 350 (various configurations)
Dare I include the Yamaha V-Star 250
Several CFMoto bikes

I’m more curious than interested at this stage.  Lots of hype…
