From classic to custom, all models are covered in this comprehensive and chronological catalogue of the most significant Harley motorcycles that have been produced, from 1906 Silent Gray Fellow to the style machines of the early 20th century. Every machine is illustrated with photographs that show each to perfection, together with text detailing the technical specifications, key design elements, engineering standards, notable attributes and particular history of each model. Special features include the history of the development of the V-twin engine, its racing history, riders, and significant roles in various eras including two world wars. In 1903 the two friends William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson got together in a small Milwaukee basement with motorcycling in mind and three years later with the added help of two other Davidson brothers, the first true Harley Davidson motorcycle was born. It was to become the stuff of myths and legends and a true American icon for generations of thrill seekers. With their low pedals or feet forward, they have also been used in drag racing and by the legendary Evel Knievel. Here are the singles, lightweights, first twins, sportsters, soft tails, low riders and dynas, glides, buell racers and more.
