Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Revival – structure and sound

I was really worried whether I would ever get to see the first Harley-Davidson from the new Icons collection live. Harley-Davidson has limited the Electra Glide Revival to 1,500 models worldwide, 67 of which were distributed in Germany and shortly after the first pictures were published, the phones of Harley-Davidson dealers were burning hot.

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 worked completely.

Harley-Davidson Lübeck gave me the opportunity to be there when the new Electra Glide Revival was built for the customer. It is quite interesting to find out what is basically meant by the installation fee that is charged to the buyer of a new vehicle.

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.

The first impression counts! The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Revival radiates beauty

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

What could have been done better

There's something about the combination of old school and modern technology, in the end I found two things that didn't convince me or that I would lend a hand to. The frame cover under the saddle could have been made better, as could the saddle, which looks good, but I would have liked thicker leather, it needs to be a little more sofa. I would have the saddle rebuilt professionally by a good saddler, not change it, just make it better.

What the new owner gets

Harley-Davidson charges 29,995 euros plus the installation 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. Boom!Box GTS is installed in the batwing fairing . It is strictly limited to 1,500 models and comes with a certificate of authenticity . Anyone who can call an Electra Glide Revival theirs is already a rarity. I'm curious to see how often we'll see it on the road, or whether it'll disappear into private collections.

I hope you can see it often on our streets, especially on sunny days. A beautiful cruiser with which the trip to Key West, along the blue ocean, should be a dream. There I see her driving in my visions, you are welcome to leave your impression a little further down in the comment function.
