This newly revised and extended book celebrates the most famous motorcycle in the world, from its innovative design to its cultural significance as a true American icon. Appealing to enthusiasts, riders, historians and collectors, the books introduction covers the history of the machine, from its simple origins, through its rise to become the largest bike company in the world, its near demise in the 1980s, its spectacular rebirth in the late 1990s and its continuous success in the 21st century. Following on from this history is a chronological directory of every Harley model ever produced including the early Twins; Knuckleheads, Pans and Shovelheads; Sportsters; Cruisers; Tourers; racing bikes and the new revolutionary V-rods. Alongside spectacular photographs that show each machine to perfection, the accompanying text details technical specifications, key design elements, notable attributes and history.
