Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Revival - Bodywork and sound

I was really trembling to see the first Harley-Davidson from the new Icons collection live. Harley-Davidson has the Electra Glide Revival was limited to 1500 models worldwide, 67 of which were distributed in Germany and shortly after its release, the first Pictures the phones of the Harley-Davidson dealerships were ringing off the hook.

We see a similar scenario here as with the Pan America. The new Harley-Davidson Models are bought before the customer has even seen them in real life. CEO Jochen Zeitz's strategy of arousing desire seems to have been a complete success.

Harley-Davidson Lübeck hat mir die Möglichkeit gegeben, dabei zu sein, wenn die neue Electra Glide Revival für den Kunden aufgebaut wird. Es ist ganz interessant zu erfahren, was mit der Aufbaupauschale im Grunde gemeint ist, die dem Käufer von einem Neufahrzeug in Rechnung gestellt wird.

We talk about the sudden appearance of the Electra Glide Revival on the European market, give an insight into the construction of a new vehicle and start the engine for the first time.

First impressions count! The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Revival shines with beauty

It stands in front of me in the workshop and the Hi-Fi Blue shines at me, the color is awesome, it dominates everything! The Birch White is a very soft white which, in combination with the Hi-Fi Blue and the Black Denim, still makes an impressive impression today. I haven't had this WOW feeling for a long time, it makes me want more from the Icons series.

What could have been done better

The combination of old school and modern technology has something about it, in the end I found two things that didn't convince me, or where I would have it tweaked. The frame cover under the saddle could have been done better, as could the saddle, it looks good but I would have liked thicker leather, it needs to be a bit more sofa-like. I would have the saddle professionally rebuilt by a good saddler, not altered, just better.

What the new owner gets

Harley-Davidson charges €29,995 plus the bodywork fee of €560, for the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Revival. It is a fully-fledged tourer, the frame is appropriate and it has all new technical features installed. In the Batwing fairing, the Boom!Box GTS infotainment system installed. It is strictly limited to 1500 models and features a Certificates of authenticityt. Anyone who can call an Electra Glide Revival their own already has a rarity. I am curious to see how often we will see them on the road, or whether they will disappear into private collections.

I hope she is often seen on our roads, especially on sunny days. A beautiful cruiser that would make the trip to Key West along the blue ocean a dream. That's where I see her driving in my visions, feel free to leave your impression in the comments section below.
