Harley-Davidson Moves Revolution Max Production to U.S., Targeting 100K Units by 2027
Summary
Harley-Davidson announced it is bringing the production of its Revolution Max platform, including Pan America, Sportster S, and Nightster models, back to U.S. facilities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. This strategic move, part of the "Back to the Bricks" initiative, is expected to support American manufacturing jobs and is slated for completion by 2027, ahead of Model Year 2028 production. The company anticipates manufacturing over 100,000 motorcycles from its York, PA facility in 2027. This operational shift could enhance supply chain control, potentially mitigate tariff costs, and aligns with the comprehensive strategic plan announced in early May, which followed a period of declining Q1 financials and significant recalls.
