Earlier this week, Harley-Davidson announced its new Icons Collection, producing one to two very limited motorcycles a year. The first bike in this collection is the Electra Glide Revival, inspired by Harley’s 1969 FLH Electra Glide. Only 1,500 of these single-production motorcycles were made and we’re lucky enough to have number 111 in our possession.

The Electra Glide Revival has tons of small details that stick out, but the first thing everyone will notice is the classic paint job. Back in 1969, the fairing and saddlebags were only offered as accessories, so they weren’t paint matched and only came in white. To honor that legacy, the new fairing and bags are painted in gloss Birch White.

Whitewall tires wrap around 16-inch spoked wheels and nearly every metal piece is dressed up in chrome. Rails around the front fender, saddlebags, and seat tie the whole classic vibe together.

And best of all? The modern chassis and Milwaukee-Eight 114 mean that you can rip this classic-looking beauty just like you can a modern bagger.

As there are only 1,500 of these bikes made, we imagine they’re quite hard to obtain right now, but Harley-Davidson has said they’re expected in dealerships late April of 2021 with an MSRP of $29,199.

There will be only one production run of each motorcycle in the Icons Collection, never to be made again.
