Harley’s Milwaukee-Eight Engine – It’s Kind of a Big Deal
Harley-Davidson’s team of engineers and designers have been working hard to perfect the new engine design that will carry Harley Touring bikes and trikes into the future.
The new Milwaukee-Eight engine idles lower, runs cooler, is faster and gives better gas mileage than the precious Twin Cam. This is a big deal considering this is only the ninth engine in Harley’s history. It’s quite the engineering feat, and one totally worth waiting for. The all new single cam, four-valve-per-head American engine will be available in all 2017 Trikes and Touring models, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
Three versions of the Milwaukee-Eight will be on the road for 2017:
- The Milwaukee-Eight 107: Air/oil-cooled 107-cubic inch (1,750-cc) 45-degree V-twin in the Street Glide, Street Glide Special, Road Glide, Road Glide Special, Electra Glide Ultra Classic and Road King motorcycles and Freewheeler trikes, tuned to produce 111.4 lb-ft of peak torque at 3,250 rpm.
- Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 107: 107-cubic inch V-twin with liquid-cooled cylinder heads in the Ultra Limited, Ultra Limited Low and Road Glide Ultra motorcycles and Tri Glide Ultra trikes, tuned to produce 113.6 lb-ft of peak torque at 3,250 rpm.
- Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 114: A 114-cubic inch (1,870-cc) version of the liquid-cooled engine in the CVO Limited and CVO Street Glide touring bikes, tuned to produce 124 lb-ft of peak torque at 3,250 rpm.
Pricing for the new Touring lineup runs from $18,999 for the Road King to $40,999 for the CVO Limited. Will you be one of the first to have your very own?
