Revival must use the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine
Harley Davidson announced it is 2021 tour schedule last month, but we can confirm that the company has another model up its sleeve, and we’re not talking about the Pan america. Harley-Davidson 2021 model virtual presentation included a teaser image of a fuel tank console with the word “Revival” written on it. Motorcycle.com you can now confirm that the Harley-Davidson Revival will be a 2021 touring model equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine.
The confirmation comes from the US Environmental Protection Agency, which certified Revival along with its returning tourism models. The order includes displacements M-8 107 and 114, but Harley-Davidson usually reserves the larger engine for the Specials. Unless Harley-Davidson breaks with this nomenclature, we can assume that the 2021 Renaissance 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 the launch of the Pan America 1250 on February 22, and Harley-Davidson will likely want to put enough space between its first adventure travel bike and 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 is due to announce its fiscal year-end results tomorrow, along with the first details of the company’s new Hardwire business plan. This may include some details of the revival.
