A Brief History of Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles

 

When you imagine a motorcycle, odds are you’re picturing a Harley-Davidson® bike. The company has been an American icon since the start of the 20th century – known for its sharp design, classic looks, and impeccable performance quality. The company’s legacy is truly like no other, with each and every Harley-Davidson® owner playing a part in it. With such a broad and beloved history, it’s interesting to look at just some of the highlights from the magnificent story of Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. 

Take a look at the short history of Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles!

 

Making History

The story began with childhood friends, William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson, who dreamt of creating motorized bikes. While their early attempts couldn’t conquer the hills of Milwaukee, by 1904, their models no longer needed pedals and could sustain their own speed. That same year, their first product was released on the market. 

In times of hardship, the company came to the country’s aid. When the First World War broke out, Harley-Davidson® contributed to the war effort by building over 20,000 J Models for the US military. Then in 1918, the first American to enter Germany after the armistice did so on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle, equipped with a sidecar. By the end of the decade, Harley-Davidson® was known as the “largest motorcycle manufacturer on the planet.” Finally, during World War II, the company built 90,000 more military-grade motorcycles by the end of the war.

 

Modern Innovations

Today, Harley-Davidson® bikes come in six families: Touring, Softail®, CVO™, Trike, Sportster®, and Street®. Each model is carefully designed and built for different riding styles and scenarios, with each new year bringing new models filled with cutting-edge technologies, features, and other design elements. If you’re looking for high-performing engines, tight control, and smooth handling - you are looking for a Harley-Davidson®!
