Harley-Davidson was founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson, along with Arthur’s brothers, William A. and Walter Davidson. The company initially started as a small workshop, producing motorcycles in a small factory.
In the early years, Harley-Davidson focused on innovation and quality, producing reliable and powerful motorcycles. The first Harley-Davidson motorcycle was a small engine-powered bike, but the company soon expanded its offerings to include larger displacement motorcycles, establishing a reputation for performance and durability.
Over the years, Harley-Davidson introduced a wide range of iconic motorcycle models that have become synonymous with the brand’s identity. This includes the famous “Hog” models like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Softail, Touring, and Dyna, which have become iconic symbols of American motorcycle culture. Harley-Davidson motorcycles have become more than just a mode of transportation; they have also become a cultural icon. Harley-Davidson has a dedicated following of passionate riders who identify with the brand’s values of freedom, adventure, and individuality. The Harley-Davidson lifestyle and community have become an integral part of motorcycle culture, with numerous events, rallies, and gatherings taking place worldwide.
