What's changing in 2021

harley-Davidson's 2021 model year will be one of the most surprising in years. The arrival of a large trail bike, the 1250 Pan America, is an unprecedented turning point for the brand, perhaps more incredible than the arrival of the electric LiveWire. Apart from that, there's very little new to report, apart from the Street Bob's increased displacement, with the 114 ci replacing the 107 ci, shiny chrome for the Fat Boy and a few modifications for the Touring Special.
New colors and equipment make up the bulk of the updates for all Milwaukee motorcycles. Euro5 compliance has eaten into the torque of all models. Up to 0.5 mkg, but there's still a good ladleful to spare at low revs.

in 2021, the catalog is also being thoroughly cleaned up, largely due to Euro5. All Sportster 883 and 1200 models, and the XG 750, disappear. The Softail range has been streamlined, with the disappearance of the Fat Boy 107, Low Rider, Deluxe and FXDR. The A2 range has also been considerably reduced. Only the Softail Standard, Sport Glide and Slim are available with a 35 kW throttle.
