The Revival is expected to use the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine
Harley-Davidson announced it 2021 tour series last month, but we can confirm that the company has one more model up its sleeve, and we are not talking about the Pan-America. Harley-Davidson’s 2021 model virtual presentation contains a snapshot of a fuel tank console bearing the word “Revival”. Motorcycle.com can now confirm that the Harley-Davidson Revival will be a 2021 tourism model powered by the Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine.
The confirmation comes via the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency which has certified the revival along with the returning tour models. The submission includes both the M-8 107 and 114 displacements, but Harley-Davidson usually retains the larger engine for the Specials. Unless Harley-Davidson breaks away from this designation, we can assume that 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 do not 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 place enough space between its first adventure touring bike and the Revival. We’re also at 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 annual financial results tomorrow, along with the first details of the new Hardwire business plan. This may include some details of the revival.
