More than one hundred years ago the freedom-loving, speed-hungry motorcycle fanatics who founded Harley-Davidson began producing what would become the most important motorcycles in history. The company's founders knew from the start that they had created something special. Almost immediately they began collecting at least one example of virtually every model the company ever produced, from serial number one, built in 1903, to the amazing luxury touring bikes the company builds in the twenty-first century.The Harley-Davidson Motor Co. Archive Collection, published in conjunction with Harley's official museum in Milwaukee, showcases the very best motorcycles the company has collected in its first 115 years of operation. This book gives motorcycle enthusiasts an opportunity to pore over the bikes in Harley-Davidson's collection, and to linger over the exquisite details that have made Harley-Davidson the most American of icons. Filled with detailed studio photographs and histories of the motorcycles featured from Harley's collection, vetted by the experts at Harley-Davidson, this book captures the excitement that has made Harley-Davidson motorcycles the most lusted-after vehicles ever built
