The "2021 Electra Glide Revival" costs more than the original's current value or what you can buy a 1969 Electra Glide for. More than likely the 2021 model will not last as long as the original (52 years). :oops: :nixweiss:

Harley, Harley, Harley...what are you doing?  Who’s making decisions at HD?  You stopped making retro bikes years ago because they didn’t sell.  Now, when you need to draw younger riders, you introduce a bike that appeals to great-grandfathers.  Where’s the entry level, 100+ hp, water-cooled bike?  Where’s the performance bagger to compete with the IM Challenger?

That was the color and bike I loved as a Kid.  They did a good job recreating it.  My thoughts is it will sell to people over 54 quite well. 

I do not think it will attract younger customers.

What are your thoughts on the new "Icons Collection"?
Looks pretty cool to me.

Not a fan the first of the series but I think a lot of folks are.  Based on comments here and on other forums it has been well-received, for the most part.  I’m interested to see the next release and if they bring back the Bad Boy, THAT would be awesome!

I like the general look of the bike, but if it had been me doing it, I would have made it without the fairing with a road king windshield. Then sold the fairing as an accessory like it would have been in 1969 if someone wanted a fairing.

This would have made the bike much less expensive and reduced some weight also.

For the next Icon I would go back to 1956 and make an FL using the Heritage as the base. Maybe even redo the old style fiberglass saddlebags like a 56 would have had as an accessory. The paint striping on a 56 was distinctive.

Maybe I have a different take. Younger folks like the looks of nostalgic rides, but with modern tech. Look at who is buying the “restomods”. Dodge Challengers sell well. I think Harley might be on to something.

^^^^ I agree with Threephase, time will tell. A good friend of mine actually has the original, in blue as well. He bought the bike in his early 20s and still rides it! Pretty cool idea, but not for everyone. As it should be!

You could make that bike for so much less.  Take a used white Street Glide, have the tank and fenders painted blue, and add a Buddy Seat. What's the big deal?  They are really targeting a specific group.  Sixty plus year old men who want that specific bike because it brings them back to their youth.  But I guess that applies to all of us CVO owners too,...LOL!!

I am sure what the dealer receives is based on dealers sales History.  1500 bikes means some dealers will get more than one, some maybe even 3 or 4.

Some dealers do not get any CVO's, some only one or two, others get 15 or more.

A version of this discussion came up a couple months ago.  Dood and I and others I don't remember saw the future and had a chat about Harley doing a truly retro model.  Not like these era specific color coated variations but actual retro models.  Modern capabilities wrapped around a Panhead looking engine and color and general layout.  Something like that rather than these not-necessarily-bad-but-half-assed-retro-looking models would be a truer Gestalt-retro offering than just taking the old color palettes to the new tins.

Agreed, but HD counts on you to buy all that stuff out of the catalog.  A simple search can get you "vintage" floorboards, shifters, grips, bags, spoked wheels, fringe things, fin tipped mufflers, tombstone windshield, old style air cleaner cover, old style horn, and old round mirrors.  Then get Joe Zettlemoyer to paint it in vintage colors and there you have it.

I don't understand why they would ever put black on the top of the seat, when an all white seat would be not only closer to the original but also a whole lot cooler to sit on.   :nixweiss:

A friend of mine just put down a deposit on the one and only Revival his dealer expects to see come through his doors, according to what the MoCo informed them.

Agreed.  But white collects and shows dirt and road grime much more easily. That's why most leather jackets are Black or Dark Brown. Imagine how the seat would look after a couple of 500 mile days with your butt rubbing dirt and grime into it.  Same with the white rubber grips.  Your hands will just grind all that dirt into the grips and make them look bad.

But I could be wrong.

It sold the same day.

Do you know what the MSRP was and how much it sold for? I wouldn't mind having one as a second bike.

Question for the group which I also posted on Adventure Rider, what's it like riding a bike with this type of seat?  I assume it's a police seat which is 4 inches higher than a standard seat. Please school me on what to expect as I have never had experience with this type of saddle. Thanks in advance.

 I wondered if it is set up like the old pogo seats. They are very comfortable riding all day long.

I think instead of an air bladder system, it's like a small shock absorber under the rear of the seat with the front on a pivot.

MSRP in the States is $29k and in Canada it is $35k

Not sure about State side, but any dealer I've checked with in Ontario has had their allotted 1 sold before it even arrives in their showroom.

A friend of mine was lucky to secure his (after calling his dealer the day of the announcement), and he's not even certain when it will arrive.

He paid full list - no deals, but no upcharge either.

I paid MSRP, but no add on BS charges for delivery and setup. 20% on parts and labor if I add anything to the bike, but I think I will keep this one totally stock...at least for awhile!

The police seats are very comfortable, and that is what this looks like. They used to have an adjustable air bladder but a few years ago switched to a shock absorber with a spring that has a pre-load adjustment. The only thing I would caution anyone is that the seat height is extremely high. Not sure what the actual measurement is but it is quite high up.
A lot of riders are going to be on their tiptoes.

Here's a review I found that may answer if the bike is a good fit for you, based on your height.

I guess that means they are numbering them.  Congratulations they did a good job making it look like the 69.
