Harley-Davidson RMCR Concept 6Thailand won't be producing the Pan America or Nightster's Revolution Max engines anymore, as Harley goes domestic.Well, after years of offshoring some of Harley-Davidson's manufacturing—much to the displeasure of some, including the current US President and the brand's own union—the Motor Co. is bringing its Revolution Max engine production to the United States. Yes, the 1250cc V-twin that powers the brand's Pan America adventure motorcycle, as well as its Nightster, the returning Sportster, and maybe (hopefully) an upcoming cafe racer, will be American-powered in the very near future.The move comes in the wake of Harley's "Back to the Bricks" strategy switch-up, which includes a host of corrections, new initiatives, and more that newly minted CEO Artie Starrs has implemented in his short tenure, and are designed to right the Harley ship after years of decline. But in the context of the news today, "Back to the Bricks" means that Harley will be moving its production of the Revolution Max from Thailand to both its Wisconsin and Pennsylvania facilities, with a target of the first American-made motors coming to dealerships as 2028 models.Manufacturing switches don't happen overnight, people. But the reduction in offshore production, along with a host of other moves the brand has made in recent months, seemingly put Harley on much better footing to head into the future compared to where it was only a year ago, which wasn't anywhere good.Brother, Brother, BrotherActor Jason Momoa Now Has a Plug-In-Hybrid Harley-Davidson. And It's From The 1920sHarley Might Have Two New Models Coming Soon. Here Are The Motor Company's TrademarksAdvertisementAdvertisement"For more than a century, Harley-Davidson has invested in American manufacturing, skilled workers, and the communities that build our motorcycles," says Harley-Davidson's statement, adding, "Today, we're proud to announce another step forward by bringing production of the Revolution Max platform for North America—including Pan America, Sportster S, and Nightster models—back to the United States. This move returns machining, powertrain assembly, painting, and final vehicle assembly work to our facilities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, supporting dozens of additional American manufacturing and union jobs."The manufacturing move will begin in earnest later this year, with the move to be completed by next year, and the engines produced in Harley-Davidson's US-based facilities to start rolling out as 2028 Model Years. As mentioned above, the Revolution Max engine platform supports a small cadre of motorcycles, including the Pan America and Nightster.Likewise, it was the central showcase of Harley's awesome Revolution Max Cafe Racer concept the brand debuted a few months ago, one that's rumored to be a real possibility for a production series. Bill Davidson, the brand's Vice President, Special Advisor to the CEO, one of its main brand ambassadors, and the great-grandson of Harley-Davidson co-founder William A. Davidson, celebrated the news, stating, "My family has spent generations working in this company, and I've seen firsthand the pride, craftsmanship, and hard work that go into building Harley-Davidson motorcycles in America. My father, Willie, my sister, Karen, and I are incredibly excited about what's happening at Harley-Davidson. Bringing this work back home is another important step in getting back to the bricks, investing in American manufacturing, and building on the values that have made Harley-Davidson one of the most iconic brands in the world."AdvertisementAdvertisementWe must mention, however, that Harley has been in the news cycle in recent days, as an influencer campaign across social media began attacking the brand in part because of its offshore manufacturing. And the timing of that with this news of bringing the RevMax to the US seems almost too good to be true. But given the investment and planning required to make this happen, especially with the target of 2027, which is only a few months away, this was likely in the planning stage for months at this point. Suffice it to say, Harley's "pizza guy" CEO seems to be making all the right moves at present, and manufacturing is coming back to the United States.
