Harley-Davidson model year 2021 – A look into the Harleysite crystal ball
The pandemic has shaken up a lot of things this year. Harley -Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz announced in June that the story with the 100 new Harley-Davidson models under his leadership was now over and that the company would concentrate more on the core products.
The Pan America will come in the spring
What's definitely coming next spring is the Adventure Bike Pan America . The new cross-tourer will have extensive equipment that is impressive. Harley-Davidson is well aware that they have to deliver if they want to attract customers from the circles of BMW GS riders to the traditional US manufacturer.
It is said to have an aluminum case and various other features that are not yet known. With up to 145 hp and 1250 cc, it will have plenty of power. It will be interesting to see where it ends at top speed. Especially with the large suitcases, it will be a particular challenge for the frame and chassis not to sway at higher speeds.
Sportster model year 2021
The new Sportster line-up is so far planned, but I have also heard that they are still trying to get an exemption for 2021 in order to be able to keep the current Sportster series alive for another year. However, retailers are no longer receiving any orders because they are almost sold out. So the plan will certainly remain to bring the new Euro 5 Sportster model series onto the road in 2021.
The Harley-Davidson model year 2021 – The Softail series
the FXDR 114 which is actually still fresh , and we also hear that the Low Rider Standard and the Softail Deluxe will also be removed from the range.
Similar to the larger tourers, the 2021 Sport Glide For example, if you order the Sport Glide in denim gloss black, the case will also be delivered in denim gloss black lacquer. This is a small but certainly fine design adjustment to the successful sports tourer.
The Low Rider S may undergo a slight adjustment to the windshield, the current trend is towards club style, let's see how far Harley-Davidson really dares to go.
The 107 is omitted for the FAT BOY and FAT BOB
The 107 Milwaukee-Eight engines are slowly going into early retirement, at least with the FAT BOY and FAT BOB , here the 114 Milwaukee-Eight apparently prevailed and it is quite possible that this will happen with the development of the next generation of Euro engines has. Because they are already being worked on diligently and developed in order to be up to date in a timely manner.
The Softail Super Glide is in the crystal ball for 2021.
That would be a big surprise if Harley-Davidson the Super Glide . The Dyna Super Glide FX first saw the light of day in 1971 and was not included in the new Softail series in 2018.
But that does happen at Harley-Davidson, where a bike is turned on/off or the other way around. In terms of price, it will certainly be very interesting for many if it actually comes. It would once again confirm that Jochen Zeitz more on the actual tradition of Harley-Davidson .
The Harley-Davidson Tourer model year 2021
For the Road and Street Glide Special models, the concept of the large tourer is expected to prevail. They will get a new rim design and there will be more chrome on offer again, so the chrome finish and black finish concept now also be used on the other tourers.
There is talk of new LED lighting concepts that are urgently needed, at least for the Street Glide Special , and should be introduced in 2021. It is still unclear to what extent there will be changes to the lighting on the other tourers. Harley has probably come up with something new for the fuel filler neck, the Road and Street Glide Special will probably have some changes to the tank, the filler neck may be oriented a little further to the right.
New air filters for the tourers can also be seen crystal ball The model update will probably be a little more extensive this time, and spring 2021 should bring a few more surprises.
Let's see if something more shines through in the crystal ball in the near future.
These are not official announcements from Harley-Davidson , it is purely a so-called field radio, the official information is not expected until 2021.

Sport Glide doesn't get a 114 engine. I want to buy one but I don't know yet whether I'll buy one with the 107 engine
Hello Richard, it's not really known at the moment whether they're switching to the 114 for the Sport Glide. We'll know that on January 19th. However, if I were you I would test drive both engines. They may have different characters, but the 107 is by no means bad. The two-in-one exhaust system swallows a few horsepower, but otherwise it runs really well. If you like it otherwise, I wouldn't make the decision based on the engine. There are many who are happy with her the way she is.
