Harley-Davidson has revived a limited-edition model paying homage to the original 1971 FX Super Glide. Powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117, it's limited to 2,500 units for the US and Canada, with an MSRP of $15,999.
Seen in a historical context, this machine carries special meaning. The original 1971 FX Super Glide was the machine through which Willie G. Davidson put the concept of the factory custom before the world, a crystallization of the forward-thinking spirit the era demanded. Coming back to life in this form 55 years later isn't mere nostalgia, it's an act of the brand confirming the axis of its own history.

The original FX was Willie G's work - I wonder how many here actually remember that.
2,500 units, US and Canada only - basically means it's not coming to Japan, so what's the point.
If we're talking limited-edition marketing, Indian's actually better at hyping it up.
A tribute to the original 1971 FX Super Glide - that's going to land hard for the right crowd.
The guts are just the current Milwaukee-Eight 117 unchanged - this is a bike you're paying for the vibe on.
$15,999 is about 2.4 million yen at current rates - bold pricing, even for a limited edition.
Limited to 2,500 units - that's guaranteed to get scalper markups, prime bait for resellers.
