The Harley Davidson is without a doubt, the king of all motorcycles. It’s hard to believe that its origins come from a mere experiment in the 1900s – four young men in a wooden shed, tinkering with internal combustion. And no, they didn’t burn the shed down. They built a motorcycle that withstood 5 different owners, and ran for over 100,000 miles.
100 years later, Harley-Davidson Inc, proud makers of Harley Davidson bikes, continues to fulfill dreams through the exhilarating experience of motorcycling, by offering to the public a wide and growing array of motorcycles and branded products and services in selected market segments.
Today, Harley Davidson holds a family of motorcycles that you can choose from when you’re ready to take on the Harley Davidson experience. There’s the Sportster, Dyna, Softail, VRSC and Touring motorcycles, each with unique characteristics in design and function.
* Sportster (7 models)
With the live wire performance and just the right flat-track soul that a Sportser can give you, you would die to take it to the streets.
* Dyna (6 models)
A Dyna’s design is inspired by the good old days of the first hardcore custom fanatics. With chunky slices of steel and alloy on top of a thunder-breathing V-twin, it’s ground only few dare to tread.
* Softail (8 models)
The Softail embodies the distinctive icon of everything that’s authentic with an American custom motorcycle. With the Softail, challenge time and everything else.
* VRSC (3 models)
The VRSC offers motorcycles that are high revving and boasts of a liquid-cooled V-twin. All these and the diamond-like accuracy unique to Harley Davidson make the VRSC a scorching soul of a dragster gone way further than the quarter mile.
* Touring (7 models)
Touring motorcycles have proven their long haul capability and low-speed maneuverability for millions of miles. This year, manufacturers have added one more gallon of go in the tank so you can head out for the extra mile.
Other than offering high-quality motorcycles, Harley Davidson Inc. also offers different services that will help you taste the exhilarating experience of driving one.
You can take a Factory Tour, where you are taken into the company’s production facilities for a behind-the-scenes look at how Harley Davidson motorcycles are made.
If you want to get firsthand experience but don’t have enough money to purchase your very own Harley, you can Rent a Harley.
For seasoned drivers, Harley Davidson Inc offers a list of great roads for you to travel, and a self-guided tour map. You can also make your very own ride planner, where you record the routes you take, and share it to the world.
For both beginners and advanced riders, the Harley Davidson Academy of Motorcycling also offers training in a group environment.
Other than that, you can join the Harley Owners Group or HOG, a motorcycle organization made up of a million people around the world linked together through one common passion of making the Harley Davidson dream a lifestyle.
Harley Davidson also offers a variety of products to complete the overall riding experience. This includes Apparel and Accessories, and Genuine Motor Accessories.
Overall, owning a Harley Davidson does not just mean owning a motorcycle. It has evolved into a way of life.
