Legendary American bike maker, Harley-Davidson, has just revealed their new line of engines called Milwaukee-Eight engine. This is the ninth in the lineage of the company’s iconic Big Twin engines, and they will deliver more power and have an improved motorcycling experience for riders and passengers while retaining the iconic look, sound and feel of its predecessors. With an all-new design, the Milwaukee-Eight engine offers quicker throttle response, more passing power, purer sound, a smoother ride and more of the feeling riders want from a Harley Davidson touring motorcycle engine. The New Milwaukee-Eight engines will power every 2017 Harley-Davidson Touring and will be offered in two displacements and two variations.
The Milwaukee-Eight 1,745cc featuring precision oil-cooled cylinder heads for the Street Glide Special, Road Glide Special and Road King. The Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 1,870cc featuring liquid-cooled cylinder heads for the CVO Limited. Each Milwaukee-Eight engine produces 10 percent more torque than the engine it replaces in the Touring models. The Milwaukee-Eight engine weighs the same as the engines it replaces, so all of its extra power contributes directly to improved acceleration performance.The Milwaukee-Eight engine also offers improved rider and passenger thermal comfort due to reduced heat absorption, increased heat rejection and a redesigned exhaust system.
