Harley-Davidson has a very rich history of producing excellent cruiser motorcycles; to celebrate, it will launch a new Icons Collection series, starting with the Electra Glide.<\/p>\n

This series will contain motorcycles from Harley\u2019s past lineup, reworked and remodeled to revisit Harley Davidson\u2019s designs.<\/p>\n

Harley-Davidson has plans to release one or two Icons Collection bikes per year, with production limited to just a single motorcycle. The company has been branching out into the electric motorcycle segment as sales have hit a wall lately, and the Icons Collection is another way to earn a profit.<\/p>\n

However, since Icons Collection motorcycles will cost a pretty penny, expect only real enthusiasts to snatch them. And, judging by the first model, a 1969 Electra Glide, there will certainly be a waiting list.<\/p>\n

\"Harley-Davidson<\/p>\n

The Electra Glide is the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle to come with the brand\u2019s iconic \u201cbatwing\u201d fairing in the front, and the \u201cRevival\u201d model perfectly copies the styling. However, the bike is completely new underneath. It packs a modern Milwaukee Eight 114 V-Twin 1,868cc engine coupled with a 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission; it produces 97 HP and 118 lb-ft of torque @ 3,230rpm, making it an effortless highway machine. Moreover, the Electra Glide Revival will be available with the brand\u2019s Reflex Defensive Rider systems and Apple CarPlay<\/a>, although customers can only opt for the original 1969 color scheme.<\/p>\n

The Electra Glide Revival will be built on the company\u2019s Touring frame, including 49mm forks with dual bending valve suspension technology with a knob to control the rear shocks. For better long-range drivability, Harley has added electronic cruise control, Halogen headlamp, a tall windshield, and a split stream vent.<\/p>\n

Harley Davidson will build only 1,500 samples of the Electra Glide Revival, each with a starting price of $29,199. That is expensive, but then again, the bike is an instant classic and might cost even more in the future. The motorcycle will arrive at dealerships in late April.<\/p>\n
