The Revival is expected to use the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine
Harley-Davidson announced that it is 2021 touring line-up last month, but we can confirm that the company has one more model up its sleeve, and we’re not talking about the Pan America. The 2021 model from Harley-Davidson virtual presentation featured a teaser image of a fuel tank console with the word “Revival” written on it. Motorcycle.com can now confirm that the Harley-Davidson Revival will be a 2021 touring model powered by the Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine.
The confirmation comes from the US Environmental Protection Agency who certified the Revival in addition to the returning touring models. The application includes both the M-8107 and 114 displacements, but Harley-Davidson typically reserves the larger engine for the Specials. Unless Harley-Davidson breaks away from this nomenclature, we can assume the 2021 Revival will use the same 107ci (1746cc) version of the Milwaukee-Eight as the Electra Glide standard, Road Glide, Road King and Street Glide.
We don’t know when Harley-Davidson will announce the Revival. The company’s immediate focus is on the launch of the Pan America 1250 on February 22, and Harley-Davidson will likely want to create enough space between its first adventure touring bike and the Revival. We’re also getting to the point where manufacturers are announcing their first 2022 models, so Harley-Davidson may not want to wait too long.
Harley-Davidson will announce its year-end fiscal results tomorrow, along with first details of the company’s new Hardwire business plan. This may include some details of the revival.
