The Harley-Davidson Motor Company was incorporated in 1907. The company turned out 150 motorcycles. In the next year, Walter Davidson used the Harley Single to win the New York Two-Day endurance Run, from the Catskill Mountains to New York City. This race made the Harley-Davidson motorcycle famous overnight.
