Harley-Davidson, Inc. (also known as H-D or just Harley) is a famous American company that makes motorcycles. It started in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1903. Harley-Davidson is one of only two big American motorcycle makers that survived the Great Depression. The other was Indian Motorcycles.

Over the years, the company has faced many challenges. These included different owners and tough competition from other companies around the world. Despite this, Harley-Davidson grew into one of the biggest motorcycle makers. It is now a well-known brand, famous for its very loyal fans. There are Harley-Davidson clubs and events all over the world. The company also has a museum dedicated to its brand.

Harley-Davidson is known for its unique style of motorcycles. Many of their bikes are customized, which helped create the "chopper" style. The company traditionally made large, air-cooled "cruiser" motorcycles. These bikes had big engines, usually larger than 700 cubic centimeters (cc). More recently, Harley-Davidson has also started making newer styles. These include the VRSC (from 2002) and the mid-sized Street (from 2014) motorcycles.

Harley-Davidson builds its motorcycles in several factories. These are located in York, Pennsylvania; Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin; Tomahawk, Wisconsin; Manaus, Brazil; and Rayong, Thailand. The company sells its motorcycles worldwide. They also sell many other products with the Harley-Davidson name. These include clothes, home decorations, toys, and even video games.

The History of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

In 1901, a young man named William S. Harley had an idea. He drew plans for a small engine. It was meant to be used in a regular bicycle frame. For the next two years, he worked on this "motor-bicycle." He worked with his childhood friend, Arthur Davidson. They used a small machine shop at their friend Henry Melk's house in Milwaukee.

In 1903, Arthur's brother, Walter Davidson, joined them. They finished their first motor-bicycle. But when they tested it, they found it couldn't climb hills around Milwaukee very well. It needed help from the rider pedaling. They learned a lot from this first try.

The three friends then started working on a new, better machine. This one had a larger engine. It also had a stronger frame design. This bigger engine and frame meant it was no longer just a motorized bicycle. It was a true motorcycle. They even got help from Ole Evinrude, who made boat engines.

The first new Harley-Davidson was put together in a small shed. This shed was in the Davidson family's backyard. Many of the parts were made elsewhere. The oldest brother, William A. Davidson, was a foreman at a rail shop. He likely helped make some parts there. This first motorcycle was ready by September 8, 1904. It even raced in Milwaukee and came in fourth place.

In 1905, the company started selling Harley-Davidson engines. They also began making a few complete motorcycles. Carl H. Lang, a dealer in Chicago, sold three bikes that year. Years later, the small backyard shed was moved. It became a tribute at the main factory.

In 1906, Harley and the Davidson brothers built their first real factory. It was on Chestnut Street in Milwaukee. This is where Harley-Davidson's main office is today. The first factory was a small wooden building. They made about 50 motorcycles that year.

In 1907, William S. Harley finished college. He earned a degree in mechanical engineering. That same year, they made the factory bigger. Production grew to 150 motorcycles. The company officially became a business in September. They also started selling motorcycles to police departments. This has been an important market for them ever since. William A. Davidson joined the company in 1907.

At first, all their motorcycles had single-cylinder engines. In 1907, they showed a new type of engine. It was a V-Twin engine. Very few V-Twin models were made at first. These early V-Twins were more powerful. Production quickly grew from 450 motorcycles in 1908 to 1,149 in 1909.

In 1911, they made an even better V-Twin engine. It was smaller but performed better. After 1913, most Harley-Davidson bikes were V-Twin models.

In 1912, Harley-Davidson introduced a special "Ful-Floteing Seat." This seat had a spring inside to make the ride smoother. Riders could adjust the spring for their weight. Harley-Davidson used this type of seat for many years.

By 1913, the factory had grown much larger. It took up two city blocks. Harley-Davidson was becoming a leader in motorcycle racing. By 1914, they were ahead of their rival, Indian. That year, they made 16,284 motorcycles.

Harley-Davidson in World War I

In 1917, the United States joined World War I. The military needed motorcycles for the war. Harley-Davidson bikes had been used before, but this was the first time they were widely adopted by the military. The U.S. military bought over 20,000 motorcycles from Harley-Davidson.

For a short time, Harley-Davidson also made bicycles. They hoped to get more customers for their motorcycles. But sales were not good, so they stopped making bicycles in 1923.

The 1920s: Growth and New Designs

By 1920, Harley-Davidson was the world's largest motorcycle maker. They produced over 28,000 machines. They had dealers in 67 countries. In 1921, a rider named Otto Walker set a speed record on a Harley-Davidson. He was the first to win a race at over 100 miles per hour.

Harley-Davidson made several improvements in the 1920s. They introduced a new V-Twin engine in 1921. In 1925, they added the famous "teardrop" gas tank. A front brake was added to some models in 1928. In 1929, they introduced a smaller V-Twin engine. This was to compete with other popular bikes.

Surviving the Great Depression

The Great Depression started in 1929. This was a very tough time for businesses. Harley-Davidson's sales dropped a lot. They went from 21,000 bikes in 1929 to just 3,703 in 1933.

To survive, the company made other products. They built industrial engines based on their motorcycle designs. They also created a three-wheeled delivery vehicle called the Servi-Car. This vehicle was made until 1973.

In the mid-1930s, a production line opened in Japan. It made Harley-Davidson motorcycles under license. But in 1936, the Japanese company, Sankyo Seiyaku, stopped working with Harley-Davidson. They continued making the bikes under the name Rikuo.

New engines were added in the 1930s. By 1936, the famous "Knucklehead" engines were introduced. These had some early problems but were soon improved.

Harley-Davidson in World War II

Harley-Davidson was one of only two American motorcycle makers to survive the Great Depression. So, when World War II began, they again made many motorcycles for the U.S. Army. They had already been supplying a military version of their WL line, called the WLA. The "A" stood for "Army."

During the war, the company focused on military production. They made over 90,000 military motorcycles. Many of these were sent to allies. Harley-Davidson received awards for their excellent production during the war. About 30,000 bikes were sent to the Soviet Union. Production of the WLA stopped after World War II. But it started again from 1950 to 1952 for the Korean War.

The U.S. Army also asked Harley-Davidson to make a new motorcycle. It was based on a German BMW model. Harley-Davidson copied the BMW engine and design. They produced the 1942 Harley-Davidson XA. This bike was very different from other Harleys. It had a shaft drive and a flat-twin engine. The XA never went into full production. Only 1,000 were made. By then, the Jeep had become the Army's main vehicle. The XA is the only shaft-driven Harley-Davidson ever made.

Smaller Bikes: Hummer and Aermacchi

After World War II, Harley-Davidson got the design for a small German motorcycle. They made and sold it from 1948 to 1966. These bikes were often called "Hummers."

In 1960, Harley-Davidson bought part of Aermacchi's motorcycle division. Aermacchi was an Italian company. Harley-Davidson started selling Aermacchi's bikes in the U.S. They were called Harley-Davidson Sprints. Harley-Davidson later bought full control of Aermacchi's motorcycle production in 1974. They continued making two-stroke motorcycles there until 1978.

A Difficult Time for Harley-Davidson

In 1969, a company called American Machine and Foundry (AMF) bought Harley-Davidson. AMF tried to make production faster and cut costs. This led to a worker strike. Also, the quality of the bikes went down.

At the same time, four big Japanese motorcycle makers (Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha) became very popular. Their bikes were often called "Universal Japanese Motorcycles." Compared to these, Harley-Davidson bikes were expensive and not as good in performance or quality. Sales dropped, and the company almost went out of business. People even made fun of the Harley-Davidson name.

In 1977, Harley-Davidson made a special "Confederate Edition" bike. This model had paint and details related to the Confederacy. It later became one of their most debated models.

Turning Things Around: Revival

In 1981, AMF sold Harley-Davidson to a group of 13 investors. This group was led by Vaughn Beals and Willie G. Davidson. The new leaders worked hard to improve the quality of their motorcycles. They also brought in new technologies.

Instead of trying to copy Japanese designs, they focused on Harley's unique "retro" style. They built bikes that looked and felt like older Harleys. They also used parts from other companies to improve quality. Slowly, buyers started coming back.

Harley-Davidson bought a special rear suspension design. They used it to create their Softail series of motorcycles. These bikes were introduced in 1984.

In 1986, Harley-Davidson bought a company that made luxury motorhomes. They sold it in 1996.

New Models and the Harley-Davidson Museum

By 1990, Harley-Davidson was again a leader in sales for large motorcycles. This was helped by the introduction of the "Fat Boy" model. Some people thought the "Fat Boy" name came from atomic bombs. But the name actually came from how wide the motorcycle looked from the front.

In 1993 and 1994, the Dyna (FXD) models replaced the FXR models. The Dyna became the main "Big Twin" frame.

Harley-Davidson celebrated its 100th anniversary on September 1, 2003. They had a big event and concert with famous musicians.

Construction started on the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee in 2006. It cost $75 million. The museum opened in 2008. It holds the company's large collection of old motorcycles and records. It also has a restaurant and meeting spaces.

Harley-Davidson Around the World

The oldest Harley-Davidson dealership outside the U.S. is in Australia. It opened in 1918. Sales in Japan started in 1912. From 1929, Harley-Davidson bikes were made in Japan under license. This continued until 1958.

In 1998, the first Harley-Davidson factory outside the U.S. opened in Brazil. This factory helped sell motorcycles in the southern part of the world.

In 2009, Harley-Davidson started selling motorcycles in India. But in 2020, they announced they would stop sales and manufacturing in India. This was because of low demand.

Buell Motorcycles

Harley-Davidson started working with the sportbike maker Buell Motorcycle Company in 1987. Harley-Davidson later bought full ownership of Buell in 2003.

Buell created a low-cost, easy-to-maintain motorcycle called the Buell Blast. It was introduced in 2000. The Blast was used for Harley-Davidson's rider training courses for many years.

In 2009, Harley-Davidson announced they would stop making Buell motorcycles. They wanted to focus only on the Harley-Davidson brand.

Financial Challenges

Around 2000, Harley-Davidson expanded its dealerships. At the time, popular models had long waiting lists. When demand for bikes slowed down after 2003, the company's stock price dropped.

The 2007–2008 financial crisis also affected the motorcycle industry. The value of the Harley-Davidson brand fell. In 2010, Harley-Davidson announced they needed to cut costs. They closed two factories and planned to reduce their workforce. However, they later decided to keep their main operations in Wisconsin.

MV Agusta Group

In 2008, Harley-Davidson bought the MV Agusta Group. This group made high-performance MV Agusta and lightweight Cagiva motorcycles. But in 2009, Harley-Davidson decided to sell MV Agusta. They sold it back to its former owner in 2010.

Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Engines

The classic Harley-Davidson engines are called V-twin engines. The cylinders are set at a 45-degree angle. This design allows for a powerful engine in a smaller space. It also makes the cylinders fire at uneven times. This creates the unique "potato-potato" sound that Harley-Davidson is famous for.

To keep the engine simple and save costs, early V-twin engines used a single ignition system. This meant both spark plugs fired at the same time. One spark would be "wasted" on the exhaust stroke. The sound of the exhaust is a deep growl with some popping.

Harley-Davidson has used different ignition systems over the years. Since 1980, they have used electronic ignition. In 1995, they offered Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). By 2007, EFI became standard on all Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Harley-Davidson has also worked to make their bikes quieter for certain standards. They studied how to keep the "Harley Sound" while lowering the overall noise. The company even tried to trademark the unique sound of their engine. But other companies argued that similar engines made similar sounds. So, Harley-Davidson stopped trying to trademark the sound in 2000.

Big V-Twin Engines

Harley-Davidson has made many different "Big V-twin" engines over the years. Each had its own nickname:

• F-head (also called JD or pocket valve), 1914–1929
• Flathead, 1930–1949
• Knucklehead, 1936–1947
• Panhead, 1948–1965
• Shovelhead, 1966–1984
• Evolution (or "Evo"), 1984–1999
• Twin Cam (or "Fathead"), 1999–2017. This engine came in different sizes, like 88, 95, 96, 103, and 110 cubic inches.
• Milwaukee-Eight, since 2017. These also come in different sizes.

Smaller V-Twin Engines

Harley-Davidson also made smaller V-twin engines for certain models:

• D Model, 1929–1931 (750 cc)
• R Model, 1932–1936 (750 cc)
• Flathead 750 cc (for W Model and Servi-Car)
• K Model, 1952–1953 (750 cc)
• KH Model, 1954–1956 (900 cc)
• Ironhead, 1957–1985 (883 cc and 1,000 cc)
• Evolution, since 1986 (883 cc, 1,100 cc, and 1,200 cc)

Revolution Engine

The Revolution engine is different from traditional Harley engines. It was developed with Porsche. It is liquid-cooled and has overhead cams. This engine was first used in the new VRSC (V-Rod) line in 2001. It was a big change from Harley's usual designs.

The Revolution engine was originally 1,130 cc. Later, a larger 1,250 cc version became standard. This engine is very powerful. A special racing version, the VRXSE Destroyer, is used for drag racing.

Smaller 750 cc and 500 cc versions of the Revolution engine are used in Harley-Davidson's Street line of motorcycles. These are called Revolution X engines.

Single-Cylinder Engines

The very first Harley-Davidson motorcycles had single-cylinder engines. These were made until 1913. Single-cylinder engines were brought back in 1925. They were made as "flathead" or "overhead valve" engines. This line of single-cylinder motorcycles stopped production in 1934.

Harley-Davidson also made two-stroke single-cylinder motorcycles. These included the "Hummer" models after World War II.

Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Families

Modern Harley-Davidson motorcycles fit into different groups, or "families." These families are known by their frame, engine, suspension, and other features. The main families are Touring, Softail, Dyna, Sportster, VRSC, Street, and LiveWire.

Touring Motorcycles

Touring models are designed for long rides. They have big engines and large front forks. All Touring models have names that start with "FL." Examples are the Road King and Road Glide.

These bikes are also called "dressers" or "baggers." They include models like the Road King, Road Glide, and Electra Glide. Road Kings look like classic cruisers from the 1940s and 1950s. Electra Glides have large front fairings. The Road Glide has a fairing that is attached to the frame.

Touring models have large saddlebags for storage. They also have special rear suspension for a smooth ride. They are the only models that offer full fairings with radios. All touring models use the same basic frame. This frame has been updated over the years to improve handling and comfort.

In 2008, Harley added anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and cruise control as options. They also gave all touring models a larger fuel tank. In 2009, the entire touring range was redesigned. This included a new frame and engine-mounting system. These changes made the bikes better for carrying loads and riding smoothly.

In 2014, Harley-Davidson updated some touring bikes as "Project Rushmore." These updates included a new engine, easier-to-open saddlebags, and a new entertainment system. They also added ABS with linked brakes and improved comfort for riders and passengers.

Softail Motorcycles

Softail motorcycles are designed to look like older "hardtail" bikes. These hardtail bikes were popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The Softail bikes hide their rear suspension under the engine. This makes them look like they don't have rear suspension, even though they do.

Softail models use the "Big-Twin" engine. Their names usually start with "FXST" or "FLST." For example, the Fat Boy (FLSTF) and Heritage Softail Classic (FLSTC). Some Softail models also used "Springer" front forks, which had a unique old-school look.

Dyna Motorcycles

Dyna motorcycles were developed in the 1980s and early 1990s. They have big-twin engines and a classic style. You can tell them apart from Softails because Dynas have visible coil-over suspension connecting the swingarm to the frame. They are different from Sportsters because they have larger engines.

Dyna models often had narrow front forks and footpegs. Examples include the Super Glide, Street Bob, and Low Rider. The Wide Glide had wider forks. In 2008, the Dyna Fat Bob was introduced. It had a more aggressive look with twin headlights and wider tires.

All Dyna models use an engine that is mounted with rubber. This helps reduce engine vibration for the rider. Harley-Davidson stopped making the Dyna platform in 2017. Some of the Dyna models were then moved to the new Softail line. Dyna model names usually start with "FXD."

Sportster Motorcycles

The Sportster family was first introduced in 1957. These bikes were originally designed for racing. They were very popular in dirt and flat-track races. Sportsters are smaller and lighter than other Harley models. Today's Sportsters use 883 cc or 1,200 cc Evolution engines. They still look similar to their racing ancestors.

Before 2004, the Sportster engine was directly attached to the frame. In 2004, a new frame was introduced. It allowed the engine to be mounted with rubber. This made the ride smoother by reducing vibration.

In 2007, Harley-Davidson celebrated the Sportster's 50th anniversary. They made a special limited edition called the XL50. Also in 2007, electronic fuel injection was added to Sportsters. In 2009, the Iron 883 was added to the Sportster line.

In 2008, the XR1200 Sportster was released in Europe. It had a powerful Evolution engine and special brakes. It was later released in the United States in 2009. The XR1200 was stopped in 2013.

In 2021, Harley-Davidson launched the Sportster S model. It has a powerful 121 hp engine. It also has modern features like cornering-ABS and lean-sensitive traction control. The Sportster S is the first Sportster model since 1957 to get a completely new engine.

Most Sportsters for street use have "XL" in their model name. For example, XL883 for the 883 cc engine and XL1200 for the 1,200 cc engine.

VRSC Motorcycles

The VRSC family was introduced in 2001 and made until 2017. These "muscle bikes" are very different from traditional Harleys. They use the Revolution engine, which is liquid-cooled and has overhead cams. This was a first for Harley-Davidson. The V-Rod bikes are easy to spot because of their 60-degree V-Twin engine and radiator.

In 2008, ABS became an option for VRSC models. The standard engine size was also increased to 1,250 cc.

VRSC models include the V-Rod, Night Rod, and Street Rod. The VRXSE V-Rod Destroyer is a special drag racing motorcycle. It is not street-legal.

Street Motorcycles

The Street family is Harley-Davidson's newest platform. It was designed to attract younger riders. These bikes are lighter and more affordable. The Street 750 model was launched in India in 2014.

The Street 750 uses a new liquid-cooled V-twin engine called the Revolution X. In the Street 750, the engine is 749 cc. It has a six-speed transmission.

The Street 750 and the smaller Street 500 have been available since late 2014. Street series motorcycles for North America are built in Kansas City, Missouri. Bikes for other parts of the world are built in India.

LiveWire Motorcycles

Harley-Davidson's LiveWire was released in 2019. It is their first electric motorcycle. The battery gives it a city range of about 98 miles (158 km). The LiveWire is aimed at a different type of customer than their classic V-twin bikes.

In March 2020, a Harley-Davidson LiveWire set a record. It traveled over 1,000 miles in 24 hours for an electric motorcycle. The LiveWire can be charged quickly using a DC Fast Charge. This fills the battery most of the way in about 40 minutes.

In 2021, the company announced that LiveWire would become its own separate company. It was estimated to be worth $1.77 billion.

Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO)

Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) is a special team at Harley-Davidson. They create limited-edition custom versions of regular Harley models. Since 1999, the CVO team has chosen a few models each year. They add bigger engines, performance upgrades, special paint, and more chrome. They also improve the audio systems and add electronic features. These CVO bikes are high-quality, premium custom motorcycles.

The Ultra Classic Electra Glide and the Road King are often chosen for CVO treatment. Dyna, Softail, and VRSC models have also been customized by CVO.

Harley-Davidson and the Environment

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) works to protect the environment. In 2005, Harley-Davidson worked with the EPA. They created an "environmental warranty." This warranty promises that their vehicles are built to meet EPA standards.

In 2005, Harley-Davidson was the first company to join the One Clean-Up Program. This program helps clean up soil and groundwater at old factory sites. It is supported by the government and other organizations.

In 2016, Harley-Davidson reached an agreement with the EPA. This was about "super tuners" they sold. These devices could make bikes perform better. But they also changed the emission control systems. This caused more pollution. Harley-Davidson agreed to buy back and destroy tuners that didn't meet clean air rules. They also agreed to spend money on reducing air pollution.

Harley-Davidson Brand Culture

Harley-Davidson has a very strong brand culture. Many Harley-Davidson Clubs exist around the world. The oldest one was founded in 1928 in Prague.

Harley-Davidson has a very loyal fan base. The company also earns money by licensing its logo. This means other companies pay to use the Harley-Davidson name on their products. Harley-Davidson also supplies many American police forces with motorcycles.

For a long time, Harley-Davidson tried to show its motorcycles as proper and refined. But in the 1960s, they started to change their image. They wanted to show a more tough and independent side. Their marketing began to embrace the "bad boy" image often linked to motorcycle clubs.

The "Hog" Nickname

Starting in 1920, a group of young riders became known as the "hog boys." They often won races. They had a live hog as their mascot. After winning, they would put the hog on their Harley and ride around.

In 1983, Harley-Davidson started a club for owners. They used the nickname "hog" to create the name HOG, which stands for Harley Owners Group. Harley-Davidson tried to trademark the word "hog." But they lost a court case in 1999. The court said "hog" had become a general word for large motorcycles.

On August 15, 2006, Harley-Davidson's stock symbol on the New York Stock Exchange changed from HDI to HOG.

Bobber Motorcycles

Older Harley-Davidson "big twins" often had heavy fenders and lots of chrome. After World War II, riders wanted their bikes to be faster. They would shorten or remove parts like fenders to make the motorcycle lighter. These bikes were called "bobbers" or "choppers." This was because parts were "chopped off."

Harley Owners Group (HOG)

Harley-Davidson created the Harley Owners Group (HOG) in 1983. This was to build on the loyalty of its fans. It also helped promote a lifestyle connected to their products. HOG also created new ways for the company to make money. They sold special merchandise to club members.

HOG members often spend more money on Harley-Davidson clothing and events. In 1991, HOG became international. Today, HOG is the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world. It has over one million members.

HOG members get benefits like organized group rides and discounts. A one-year membership is included when you buy a new Harley-Davidson. In 2008, HOG celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Factory Tours and Museum

Harley-Davidson offers tours at some of its factories. The Harley-Davidson Museum opened in 2008. It shows the history and culture of Harley-Davidson. It also has a large collection of historic motorcycles.

• York, Pennsylvania – This factory makes Touring, Softail, and custom motorcycles.
• Tomahawk, Wisconsin – This factory makes parts like sidecars and saddlebags.
• Kansas City, Missouri – This factory makes Sportster, VRSC, and other motorcycles.
• Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin – This plant makes engines.
• Milwaukee, Wisconsin – The Harley-Davidson Museum is here.

Anniversary Celebrations

Since its 90th anniversary in 1993, Harley-Davidson has held special rides to Milwaukee. These are called the "Ride Home." This tradition happens every five years. It is sometimes called "Harleyfest." Riders from all over the world come to these events.

The 105th anniversary was in 2008. The 110th anniversary was in 2013. The 115th anniversary was held in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2018. Over 100,000 visitors and 60,000 bikes attended. The 120th anniversary was held in Budapest, Hungary, in 2023.

Labor Hall of Fame

In 2004, the founders of Harley-Davidson were honored. William S. Harley, Arthur Davidson, William A. Davidson, and Walter Davidson Sr. were put into the Labor Hall of Fame. This was for their achievements with the company and its workers.

Television Show

The story of how the company started was made into a TV show in 2016. It was called Harley and the Davidsons. It showed the lives of William Harley, Arthur Davidson, and Walter Davidson. It first aired on the Discovery Channel.
