And dozens of motorcycle riders got to experience the sound on Thursday as the 111-year-old Milwaukee-based motorcycle company wrapped up its inaugural 30-city tour of prototype LiveWire electric motorcycles at a Jacksonville Harley-Davidson dealership. After a LiveWire ride to and from Adamec Harley-Davidson of Jacksonville on Baymeadows Road, Orange Park resident Joe Dowdy smiled as he said it is “awesome,” and looks like a Harley. “I like the power it has on the throttle; you just twist it and it goes. It is smooth and flawless,” said Dowdy, who has a Harley. “ We need to get them on the road because they are awesome. It’s the wave of the future.” His black leather jacket carrying an embroidered “Big Daddy” patch, Don Williams said he loved the sound and would buy one if Harley made it. “I was really impressed,” the Arlington man said.

“I liked the smoothness of it. It picked up pretty quick. I like the fact that it had really good acceleration and braking off the bat; very easy to learn.” Chris Adamec agrees with those riders. Co-owner of four dealerships best known for selling rumbling Sportsters and Ultra Glides, he drove a LiveWire in power mode and “absolutely loved it.” “I was so impressed with the acceleration, which is amazing,” Adamec said. “ We would love for them to come out with this. But as a dealer, we have no clue of what the price will be.

That is a big issue. It should be in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. Get higher than that, it is a hard sell.” THE COMPETITION IS ELECTRIC Mainstream makers like BMW offer electric motorcycles along with gas models. Others like Mission, Zero, Brutus, Lightning and Brammo make only electrics.

A Zero S starts at $13,345, while a Brammo Empulse starts at $11,995, a Mission R has a $32,499 base price and a Brutus V9 starts at $32,490. The Lightning LS-218, acclaimed as the fastest electric bike in production, starts at $38,000. Most offer a range of 130 miles or more, depending on use. Harley-Davidson finally dipped its toe into the electric end of the market after deciding that whatever it did had to be true to its brand, senior spokesman Tony Macrito said. Since Harleys have a distinctive look, designers gave the Project LiveWire a modern design with classic elements of past gas models, Macrito said. “The most important thing about a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is the look, the sound and the feel of the bike,” he said. “If you look at this bike you see some heritage Harley-Davidson design cues, but it is also a nod to the future.

It doesn’t look like something we have done before.” The sleek motorcycle has an exposed black powder-coated frame, red-accented wheels and a low-slung saddle. The shining 74-hp electric motor is the “centerpiece,” similar in looks to a classic chromed Harley V-Twin gas engine, Macrito said.

Each hand-built LiveWire weighs only 463 pounds, its lithium-ion battery taking about 3 1/2 hours to charge from a 220-volt outlet. The prototype’s range is a bit over 50 miles, with a top speed of 92 miles per hour. There are no plans to produce the LiveWire now, and Macrito wouldn’t say how much one would cost if production is approved. When or if it does get built will be determined in part from feedback from the estimated 3,000 people who drove the 22 LiveWires that toured the U.S. “The technology is not there yet.

Battery technology still has to advance and it is advancing rapidly,” he said. “ We want to get the feedback from our customers and from riders in general on what they think an electric Harley-Davidson should be. It can’t have any excuses.” The U.S. Tour should resume in early 2015 and expand to Canada and Europe. For more information, go to projectlivewire.com.

Number of employees est. 6,400 (2017) Harley-Davidson EMEA Harley-Davidson Brazil Harley-Davidson Asia Website: Harley-Davidson, Inc. ( H-D), or Harley, is an American manufacturer, founded in, in 1903. One of two major American motorcycle manufacturers to survive the (along with ), the company has survived numerous ownership arrangements, subsidiary arrangements (e.g., 1974-1978 and 1987-2009), periods of poor economic health and product, as well as intense global competition, to become one of the world's largest motorcycle manufacturers and an iconic brand widely known for its. There are owner clubs and events worldwide as well as a company-sponsored brand-focused museum. Noted for a style of customization that gave rise to the motorcycle style, Harley-Davidson traditionally marketed heavyweight, air-cooled motorcycles with greater than 700 cm³ and has broadened its offerings to include its more contemporary (2002) and middle-weight (2015) platforms.

Harley-Davidson manufactures its motorcycles at factories in York, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri; Manaus, Brazil; and Bawal, India, and markets its products worldwide. Besides motorcycles, the company licenses and markets merchandise under the Harley-Davidson brand, among them apparel, home decor and ornaments, accessories, toys, and scale figures of its motorcycles, and video games based on its motorcycle line and the community. From left: William A.

Davidson, Walter Davidson, Sr., and Beginning [ ] In 1901, 20-year-old drew up plans for a small engine with a of 7.07 cubic inches (116 cc³) and four-inch (102 mm). The engine was designed for use in a regular pedal-bicycle frame. Over the next two years, Harley and his childhood friend worked on their using the northside machine shop at the home of their friend, Henry Melk. It was finished in 1903 with the help of Arthur's brother, Walter Davidson. Upon testing their power-cycle, Harley and the Davidson brothers found it unable to climb the hills around Milwaukee without pedal assistance. They quickly wrote off their first motor-bicycle as a valuable learning experiment.

Work immediately began on a new and improved second-generation machine. This first 'real' Harley-Davidson motorcycle had a bigger engine of 24.74 cubic inches (405 cc³) with 9.75 inches (25 cm) flywheels weighing 28 lb (13 kg).

The machine's advanced loop-frame pattern was similar to the 1903 Milwaukee Merkel motorcycle (designed by Joseph Merkel, later of fame). The bigger engine and loop-frame design took it out of the motorized bicycle category and marked the path to future motorcycle designs. The boys also received help with their bigger engine from outboard motor pioneer, who was then building gas engines of his own design for automotive use on Milwaukee's Lake Street. Prototype The prototype of the new loop-frame Harley-Davidson was assembled in a 10 ft × 15 ft (3.0 m × 4.6 m) shed in the Davidson family backyard. Most of the major parts, however, were made elsewhere, including some probably fabricated at the West Milwaukee railshops where oldest brother William A.

Davidson was then foreman. This prototype machine was functional by September 8, 1904, when it competed in a Milwaukee motorcycle race held at State Fair Park. It was ridden by Edward Hildebrand and placed fourth. This is the first documented appearance of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the historical record. In January 1905, small advertisements were placed in the Automobile and Cycle Trade Journal offering bare Harley-Davidson engines to the do-it-yourself trade.

By April, complete motorcycles were in production on a very limited basis. That year, the first Harley-Davidson dealer, Carl H. Lang of Chicago, sold three bikes from the five built in the Davidson backyard shed. Years later the original shed was taken to the Juneau Avenue factory where it would stand for many decades as a tribute to the Motor Company's humble origins until it was accidentally destroyed by contractors cleaning the factory yard in the early 1970s. In 1906, Harley and the Davidson brothers built their first factory on Chestnut Street (later Juneau Avenue), at the current location of Harley-Davidson's corporate headquarters. The first Juneau Avenue plant was a 40 ft × 60 ft (12 m × 18 m) single-story wooden structure. The company produced about 50 motorcycles that year.

Harley-Davidson 1,000 cc HT 1916 In 1907, William S. Harley graduated from the with a degree in. That year additional factory expansion came with a second floor and later with facings and additions of Milwaukee pale yellow ('cream') brick.

With the new facilities production increased to 150 motorcycles in 1907. The company was officially incorporated that September. They also began selling their motorcycles to police departments around this time, a market that has been important to them ever since. In 1907, brother to Arthur and Walter Davidson, quit his job as tool foreman for the Milwaukee Road railroad and joined the Motor Company. Production in 1905 and 1906 were all single-cylinder models with 26.84 cubic inch (440 cm³) engines. In February 1907 a prototype model with a 45-degree engine was displayed at the Automobile Show. Although shown and advertised, very few V-Twin models were built between 1907 and 1910.

These first V-Twins displaced 53.68 cubic inches (880 cm³) and produced about 7 horsepower (5.2 kW). This gave about double the power of the first singles.

Top speed was about 60 mph (100 km/h). Production jumped from 450 motorcycles in 1908 to 1,149 machines in 1909. Harley-Davidson works in 1911 By 1911, some 150 makes of motorcycles had already been built in the United States – although just a handful would survive the 1910s. In 1911, an improved V-Twin model was introduced. The new engine had mechanically operated intake valves, as opposed to the 'automatic' intake valves used on earlier V-Twins that opened by engine vacuum.

With a displacement of 49.48 cubic inches (811 cm³), the 1911 V-Twin was smaller than earlier twins, but gave better performance. After 1913 the majority of bikes produced by Harley-Davidson would be V-Twin models.

In 1912, Harley-Davidson introduced their patented 'Ful-Floteing Seat', which was suspended by a coil spring inside the seat tube. The spring tension could be adjusted to suit the rider's weight. More than 3 inches (76 mm) of travel was available.

Harley-Davidson would use seats of this type until 1958. By 1913, the yellow brick factory had been demolished and on the site a new 5-story structure had been built. Begun in 1910, the factory with its many additions would take up two blocks along Juneau Avenue and around the corner on 38th Street. Despite the competition, Harley-Davidson was already pulling ahead of and would dominate motorcycle racing after 1914. Production that year swelled to 16,284 machines.

On his Harley racing bike in this 1919 photo. World War I [ ] In 1917, the United States entered and the military demanded motorcycles for the war effort. Harleys had already been used by the military in the but World War I was the first time the motorcycle had been adopted for military issue, first with the British, produced by British in 1915.

After the U.S. Entry into the war, the U.S. Military purchased over 20,000 motorcycles from Harley-Davidson. Bicycles [ ] Harley-Davidson launched a line of in 1917 in hopes of recruiting customers for its motorcycles. Besides the traditional men's bicycle, models included a 3-18 'Ladies Standard' and a 5-17 'Boy Scout' for youth. The effort was discontinued in 1923 because of disappointing sales. The bicycles were built for Harley-Davidson in Dayton, Ohio, by the Davis Machine Company from 1917 to 1921, when Davis stopped manufacturing bicycles.

Harley-Davidson 1000 cc HT 1923 By 1920, Harley-Davidson was the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, with 28,189 machines produced, and dealers in 67 countries. In 1921, a Harley-Davidson, ridden by Otto Walker, was the first motorcycle ever to win a race at an average speed greater than 100 mph (160 km/h). During the 1920s, several improvements were put in place, such as a new 74 cubic inch (1,212.6 cm³) V-Twin, introduced in 1921, and the 'teardrop' gas tank in 1925. A front brake was added in 1928 although notably only on the J/JD models. In the late summer of 1929, Harley-Davidson introduced its 45 cubic inches (737 cm³) flathead V-Twin to compete with the and the.

This was the 'D' model, produced from 1929 to 1931. Riders of Indian motorcycles derisively referred to this model as the 'three cylinder Harley' because the generator was upright and parallel to the front cylinder. Great Depression [ ].

Harley-Davidson 1,200 cc SV 1931 The began a few months after the introduction of their 45 cubic inch (737 cm³) model. Harley-Davidson's sales fell from 21,000 in 1929 to 3,703 in 1933. Despite this, Harley-Davidson unveiled a new lineup for 1934, which included a flathead engine and styling. In order to survive the remainder of the Depression, the company manufactured industrial powerplants based on their motorcycle engines. They also designed and built a three-wheeled delivery vehicle called the, which remained in production until 1973. Harley-Davidson dealer in Texas, ca. 1930-1945 An 80-cubic-inch (1,300 cm³) flathead engine was added to the line in 1935, by which time the single-cylinder motorcycles had been discontinued.

In 1936, the 61E and 61EL models with the ' engines was introduced. Problems in early Knucklehead engines required a redesign halfway through its first year of production and retrofitting of the new valvetrain on earlier engines. By 1937, all Harley-Davidson's flathead engines were equipped with dry-sump oil recirculation systems similar to the one introduced in the 'Knucklehead' OHV engine.

The revised 74-cubic-inch (1,210 cm³) V and VL models were renamed U and UL, the 80-cubic-inch (1,300 cc³) VH and VLH to be renamed UH and ULH, and the 45-cubic-inch (740 cc³) R to be renamed W. In 1941, the 74-cubic-inch (1,210 cm³) 'Knucklehead' was introduced as the F and the.

The 80-cubic-inch (1,300 cc³) flathead UH and ULH models were discontinued after 1941, while the 74 inch (1880 mm) U & UL flathead models were produced up to 1948. World War II [ ]. Harley copied the R71 to produce its. One of only two American cycle manufacturers to survive the, Harley-Davidson again produced large numbers of motorcycles for the US Army in and resumed civilian production afterwards, producing a range of large V-twin motorcycles that were successful both on racetracks and for private buyers. Harley-Davidson, on the eve of World War II, was already supplying the Army with a military-specific version of its 45 cubic inches (740 cm³) WL line, called the. The A in this case stood for 'Army'.

Upon the outbreak of war, the company, along with most other manufacturing enterprises, shifted to war work. More than 90,000 military motorcycles, mostly WLAs and WLCs (the Canadian version) were produced, many to be provided to allies. Harley-Davidson received two, one in 1943 and the other in 1945, which were awarded for Excellence in Production.

Harley produced the WLC for the. Shipments to the under the program numbered at least 30,000. The WLAs produced during all four years of war production generally have 1942 serial numbers. Production of the WLA stopped at the end of World War II, but was resumed from 1950 to 1952 for use in the. Army also asked Harley-Davidson to produce a new motorcycle with many of the features of side-valve and R71. Harley largely copied the BMW engine and drive train and produced the shaft-driven 750 cc 1942.

This shared no dimensions, no parts and no design concepts (except side valves) with any prior Harley-Davidson engine. Due to the superior cooling of the engine with the cylinders across the frame, Harley's XA cylinder heads ran 100 °F (56 °C) cooler than its V-twins. The XA never entered full production: the motorcycle by that time had been eclipsed by the as the Army's general purpose vehicle, and the WLA—already in production—was sufficient for its limited police, escort, and courier roles. Only 1,000 were made and the XA never went into full production.

It remains the only shaft-driven Harley-Davidson ever made. Small Harleys: Hummers and Aermacchis [ ]. 1971 Aermacchi Harley-Davidson Turismo Veloce In 1960, Harley-Davidson consolidated the Model 165 and Hummer lines into the Super-10, introduced the Topper scooter, and bought fifty percent of 's motorcycle division. Importation of 's 250 cc horizontal single began the following year.

The bike bore Harley-Davidson badges and was marketed as the Harley-Davidson Sprint. The engine of the Sprint was increased to 350 cc in 1969 and would remain that size until 1974, when the four-stroke Sprint was discontinued. After the Pacer and Scat models were discontinued at the end of 1965, the Bobcat became the last of Harley-Davidson's American-made motorcycles. The Bobcat was manufactured only in the 1966 model year. Harley-Davidson replaced their American-made lightweight two-stroke motorcycles with the -built two-stroke powered M-65, M-65S, and Rapido. The M-65 had a semi-step-through frame and tank. The M-65S was a M-65 with a larger tank that eliminated the step-through feature.

The Rapido was a larger bike with a 125 cc engine. The Aermacchi-built Harley-Davidsons became entirely two-stroke powered when the 250 cc two-stroke SS-250 replaced the four-stroke 350 cc Sprint in 1974. Harley-Davidson purchased full control of 's motorcycle production in 1974 and continued making two-stroke motorcycles there until 1978, when they sold the facility to, owned by the Castiglioni family. Overseas [ ] Established in 1918, the oldest continuously operating Harley-Davidson dealership outside of the United States is in Australia.

Sales in Japan started in 1912 then in 1929, Harley-Davidsons were produced in Japan under license to the company (Rikuo Internal Combustion Company) under the name of Harley-Davidson and using the company's tooling, and later under the name Rikuo. Production continued until 1958. Tarnished reputation [ ].

Buell Lightning XB9SX Harley-Davidson's association with manufacturer began in 1987 when they supplied Buell with fifty surplus XR1000 engines. Buell continued to buy engines from Harley-Davidson until 1993, when Harley-Davidson bought 49 percent of the Buell Motorcycle Company. Harley-Davidson increased its share in Buell to ninety-eight percent in 1998, and to complete ownership in 2003. In an attempt to attract newcomers to motorcycling in general and to Harley-Davidson in particular, Buell developed a low-cost, low-maintenance motorcycle. The resulting single-cylinder was introduced in 2000, and was made through 2009, which, according to Buell, was to be the final year of production.

On October 15, 2009, Harley-Davidson Inc. Issued an official statement that it would be discontinuing the Buell line and ceasing production immediately.

A Man Of The People By Chinua Achebe Pdf Creator there. The stated reason was to focus on the Harley-Davidson brand. The company refused to consider selling Buell. Founder subsequently established and continued to manufacture and develop the company's racing motorcycle. First overseas factory in Brazil [ ] In 1998 the first Harley-Davidson factory outside the US opened in, taking advantage of the there. The location was positioned to sell motorcycles in the southern hemisphere market. Claims of stock price manipulation [ ].

Harley-Davidson Inc (NYSE:HOG) stock price (source: ZenoBank.com) During its period of peak demand, during the late 1990s and early first decade of the 21st century, Harley-Davidson embarked on a program of expanding the number of dealerships throughout the country. At the same time, its current dealers typically had waiting lists that extended up to a year for some of the most popular models. Harley-Davidson, like the auto manufacturers, records a sale not when a consumer buys their product, but rather when it is delivered to a dealer. Therefore, it is possible for the manufacturer to inflate sales numbers by requiring dealers to accept more inventory than desired in a practice called. When demand softened following the unique 2003 model year, this news led to a dramatic decline in the stock price. In April 2004 alone, the price of HOG shares dropped from more than $60 to less than $40. Immediately prior to this decline, retiring CEO Jeffrey Bleustein profited $42 million on the exercise of.

Harley-Davidson was named as a defendant in numerous suits filed by investors who claimed they were intentionally defrauded by Harley-Davidson's management and directors. By January 2007, the price of Harley-Davidson shares reached $70.

Problems with Police Touring models [ ] Starting around 2000, several police departments started reporting problems with high speed instability on the Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles. A police officer, Charles Paul, was killed when his 2002 police touring motorcycle crashed after reportedly experiencing a high.

The conducted testing of the Police Touring motorcycles in 2006. The CHP test riders reported experiencing wobble or weave instability while operating the motorcycles on the test track.

2007 strike [ ] On February 2, 2007, upon the expiration of their union contract, about 2,700 employees at Harley-Davidson Inc.' S largest manufacturing plant in went on strike after failing to agree on wages and health benefits. During the pendency of the strike, the company refused to pay for any portion of the striking employees' health care. The day before the strike, after the union voted against the proposed contract and to authorize the strike, the company shut down all production at the plant.

The York facility employs more than 3,200 workers, both union and non-union. Harley-Davidson announced on February 16, 2007, that it had reached a labor agreement with union workers at its largest manufacturing plant, a breakthrough in the two-week-old strike.

The strike disrupted Harley-Davidson's national production and was felt in Wisconsin, where 440 employees were laid off, and many Harley suppliers also laid off workers because of the strike. MV Agusta Group [ ] On July 11, 2008 Harley-Davidson announced they had signed a definitive agreement to acquire the for $109M USD (€70M). MV Agusta Group contains two lines of motorcycles: the high-performance brand and the lightweight brand. The acquisition was completed on August 8. On October 15, 2009, Harley-Davidson announced that it would divest its interest in MV Agusta.

Harley-Davidson Inc. Sold Italian motorcycle maker MV Agusta to Claudio Castiglioni - a member of the family that had purchased Aermacchi from H-D in 1978 - for a reported 3 euros, ending the transaction in the first week of August 2010. Castiglioni was MV Agusta's former owner, and had been MV Agusta's chairman since Harley-Davidson bought it in 2008. As part of the deal, Harley-Davidson put $26M into MV Agusta's accounts, essentially giving Castiglioni $26M to take the brand. Operations in India [ ]. Main article: In August 2009, Harley-Davidson announced plans to enter the market in India, and started selling motorcycles there in 2010. The company established a subsidiary, Harley-Davidson India, in, near Delhi, in 2011, and created an Indian dealer network.

Financial crisis [ ] According to, the value of the Harley-Davidson brand fell by 43 percent to $4.34 billion in 2009. The fall in value is believed to be connected to the 66 percent drop in the company profits in two quarters of the previous year. On April 29, 2010, Harley-Davidson stated that they must cut $54 million in manufacturing costs from its production facilities in Wisconsin, and that they would explore alternative U.S. Sites to accomplish this.

The announcement came in the wake of a massive company-wide restructuring, which began in early 2009 and involved the closing of two factories, one distribution center, and the planned elimination of nearly 25 percent of its total workforce (around 3,500 employees). The company announced on September 14, 2010 that it would remain in Wisconsin.

Motorcycle engines [ ]. Main article: The classic Harley-Davidson engines are, with a 45° angle between the cylinders. The has a single pin, and both are connected to this pin through their. This 45° angle is covered under several and is an engineering tradeoff that allows a large, high-torque engine in a relatively small space. It causes the cylinders to fire at uneven intervals and produces the choppy 'potato-potato' sound so strongly linked to the Harley-Davidson brand. To simplify the engine and reduce costs, the V-twin ignition was designed to operate with a single set of points and no distributor. This is known as a dual fire ignition system, causing both spark plugs to fire regardless of which cylinder was on its compression stroke, with the other spark plug firing on its cylinder's exhaust stroke, effectively '.

The exhaust note is basically a throaty growling sound with some popping. The 45° design of the engine thus creates a plug firing sequencing as such: The first cylinder fires, the second (rear) cylinder fires 315° later, then there is a 405° gap until the first cylinder fires again, giving the engine its unique sound. Harley-Davidson has used various ignition systems throughout its history – be it the early points and condenser system, (Big Twin up to 1978 and Sportsters up to 1978), magneto ignition system used on some 1958 to 1969 Sportsters, early electronic with centrifugal mechanical advance weights, (all models 1978 and a half to 1979), or the late electronic with transistorized ignition control module, more familiarly known as the black box or the brain, (all models 1980 to present). Starting in 1995, the company introduced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) as an option for the 30th anniversary edition. EFI became standard on all Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including Sportsters, upon the introduction of the 2007 product line.

In 1991, Harley-Davidson began to participate in the Sound Quality Working Group, founded by Orfield Labs, Bruel and Kjaer,,,, SMS and Cortex. This was the nation's first group to share research on psychological acoustics. Later that year, Harley-Davidson participated in a series of sound quality studies at Orfield Labs, based on recordings taken at the, with the objective to lower the sound level for EU standards while analytically capturing the 'Harley Sound'. [ ] This research resulted in the bikes that were introduced in compliance with EU standards for 1998. On February 1, 1994, the company filed a application for the distinctive sound of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle engine: 'The mark consists of the exhaust sound of applicant's motorcycles, produced by V-twin, common crankpin motorcycle engines when the goods are in use'. Nine of Harley-Davidson's competitors filed comments opposing the application, arguing that cruiser-style motorcycles of various brands use a single-crankpin V-twin engine which produce a similar sound. These objections were followed by litigation.

In June 2000, the company dropped efforts to federally register its trademark.

Small V-twins [ ]. 1928 Harley-Davidson single-cylinder motorcycle IOE singles The first Harley-Davidson motorcycles were powered by with the inlet valve operated by engine vacuum, based on the pattern. Singles of this type continued to be made until 1913, when a pushrod and rocker system was used to operate the overhead inlet valve on the single, a similar system having been used on their V-twins since 1911. Single-cylinder motorcycle engines were discontinued in 1918. Flathead and OHV singles Single-cylinder engines were reintroduced in 1925 as 1926 models. These singles were available either as or as engines until 1930, after which they were only available as flatheads. The flathead single-cylinder motorcycles were designated Model A for engines with magneto systems only and Model B for engines with battery and coil systems, while overhead valve versions were designated Model AA and Model BA respectively, and a magneto-only racing version was designated Model S.

This line of single-cylinder motorcycles ended production in 1934. Two-stroke singles. Hamburg Police Touring models use Big-Twin engines and large-diameter telescopic forks. All Touring designations begin with the letters FL, e.g., FLHR (Road King) and FLTR (Road Glide).

The touring family, also known as 'dressers' or 'baggers', includes Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide and Electra Glide models offered in various trims. The Road Kings have a 'retro cruiser' appearance and are equipped with a large clear windshield. Road Kings are reminiscent of big-twin models from the 1940s and 1950s. Electra Glides can be identified by their full front fairings.

Most Electra Glides sport a fork-mounted fairing referred to as the 'Batwing' due to its unmistakable shape. The Road Glide and Road Glide Ultra Classic have a frame-mounted fairing, referred to as the 'Sharknose'. The Sharknose includes a unique, dual front headlight. Touring models are distinguishable by their large saddlebags, rear coil-over air suspension and are the only models to offer full fairings with radios and. All touring models use the same frame, first introduced with a Shovelhead motor in 1980, and carried forward with only modest upgrades until 2009, when it was extensively redesigned.

The frame is distinguished by the location of the steering head in front of the forks and was the first H-D frame to rubber mount the drivetrain to isolate the rider from the vibration of the big V-twin. Electra Glide 'Ultra Classic' The frame was modified for the 1994 model year when the oil tank went under the transmission and the battery was moved inboard from under the right saddlebag to under the seat. In 1997, the frame was again modified to allow for a larger battery under the seat and to lower seat height.

In 2007, Harley-Davidson introduced the 96 cubic inches (1,570 cubic centimetres) Twin Cam 96 engine, as well the six-speed transmission to give the rider better speeds on the highway. In 2006, Harley introduced the FLHX Street Glide, a bike designed by Willie G. Davidson to be his personal ride, to its touring line. In 2008, Harley added and cruise control as a factory installed option on all touring models (standard on CVO and Anniversary models). Also new for 2008 is the 6-US-gallon (23 l; 5.0 imp gal) fuel tank for all touring models. 2008 also brought throttle-by-wire to all touring models. For the 2009 model year, Harley-Davidson redesigned the entire touring range with several changes, including a new frame, new swingarm, a completely revised engine-mounting system, 17-inch (430 mm) front wheels for all but the FLHRC Road King Classic, and a 2–1–2 exhaust.

The changes result in greater load carrying capacity, better handling, a smoother engine, longer range and less exhaust heat transmitted to the rider and passenger. Also released for the 2009 model year is the FLHTCUTG Tri-Glide Ultra Classic, the first three-wheeled Harley since the Servi-Car was discontinued in 1973. The model features a unique frame and a 103-cubic-inch (1,690 cm³) engine exclusive to the trike. In 2014, Harley-Davidson released a redesign for specific touring bikes and called it 'Project Rushmore'. Changes include a new 103CI High Output engine, one handed easy open saddlebags and compartments, a new Boom! Box Infotainment system with either 4.3 inch (10 cm) or 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) screens featuring touchscreen functionality [6.5 inch (16.5 cm) models only], Bluetooth (media and phone with approved compatible devices), available GPS and SiriusXM, Text-to-Speech functionality (with approved compatible devices) and USB connectivity with charging. Other features include ABS with Reflex linked brakes, improved styling, Halogen or LED lighting and upgraded passenger comfort.

2002 Heritage Classic These big-twin motorcycles capitalize on Harley's strong value on tradition. With the rear-wheel suspension hidden under the transmission, they are visually similar to the 'hardtail' popular in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as from their own earlier history.

In keeping with that tradition, Harley offers Softail models with 'Heritage' styling that incorporate design cues from throughout their history and used to offer 'Springer' front ends on these Softail models from the factory. Designation Softail models utilize the big-twin engine (F) and the Softail chassis (ST). • Softail models that use 21 inch (530 mm) Front Wheels have designations that begin with FX, e.g., FXSTB (Night Train), FXSTD (Deuce), and FXSTS (Springer). • Softail models that use 16 inch (410 mm) Front Wheels have designations beginning with FL, e.g., FLSTF (Fat Boy), FLSTC (Heritage Softail Classic), FLSTN (Softail Deluxe) and FLS (Softail Slim). • Softail models that use Springer forks with a 21-inch (530 mm) wheel have designations that begin with FXSTS, e.g., FXSTS (Springer Softail) and FXSTSB (Bad Boy). • Softail models that use Springer forks with a 16-inch (410 mm) wheel have designations that begin with FLSTS, e.g., FLSTSC (Springer Classic) and FLSTSB (Cross Bones). 2005 Dyna Custom.

Dyna-frame motorcycles were developed in the 1980s and early 1990s and debuted in the 1991 model year with the FXDB Sturgis offered in limited edition quantities. In 1992 the line continued with the limited edition FXDB Daytona and a production model FXD Super Glide. The new DYNA frame featured big-twin engines and traditional styling. They can be distinguished from the Softail by the traditional coil-over suspension that connects the swingarm to the frame, and from the Sportster by their larger engines. On these models, the transmission also houses the engine's oil reservoir.

Prior to 2006, Dyna models typically featured a narrow, XL-style 39mm front fork and front wheel, as well as footpegs which the manufacturer included the letter 'X' in the model designation to indicate. This lineup traditionally included the Super Glide (FXD), Super Glide Custom (FXDC), Street Bob (FXDB), and Low Rider (FXDL). One exception was the Wide Glide (FXDWG), which featured thicker 41mm forks and a narrow front wheel, but positioned the forks on wider triple-trees that give a beefier appearance.

In 2008, the Dyna Fat Bob (FXDF) was introduced to the Dyna lineup, featuring aggressive styling like a new 2–1–2 exhaust, twin headlamps, a 180 mm rear tire, and, for the first time in the Dyna lineup, a 130 mm front tire. For the 2012 model year, the Dyna Switchback (FLD) became the first Dyna to break the tradition of having an FX model designation with floorboards, detachable painted hard saddlebags, touring windshield, headlight nacelle and a wide front tire with full fender. The new front end resembled the big-twin FL models from 1968-1971. The Dyna family used the 88-cubic-inch (1,440 cm³) twin cam from 1999 to 2006. In 2007, the displacement was increased to 96 cubic inches (1,570 cm³) as the factory increased the stroke to 4.375 inches (111.1 mm). For the 2012 model year, the manufacturer began to offer Dyna models with the 103-cubic-inch (1,690 cm³) upgrade.

All Dyna models use a rubber-mounted engine to isolate engine vibration. Harley discontinued the Dyna platform in 2017 for the 2018 model year, having been replaced by a completely-redesigned chassis; some of the existing models previously released by the company under the Dyna nameplate have since been carried over to the new Softail line. 2003 Harley-Davidson XL1200 Custom Anniversary Edition Introduced in 1957, the Sportster family were conceived as racing motorcycles, and were popular on dirt and flat-track race courses through the 1960s and 1970s. Smaller and lighter than the other Harley models, contemporary Sportsters make use of 883 cc or 1,200 cc Evolution engines and, though often modified, remain similar in appearance to their racing ancestors.

Up until the 2003 model year, the engine on the Sportster was rigidly mounted to the frame. The 2004 Sportster received a new frame accommodating a rubber-mounted engine.

This made the bike heavier and reduced the available lean angle, while it reduced the amount of vibration transmitted to the frame and the rider, providing a smoother ride for rider and passenger. In the 2007 model year, Harley-Davidson celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Sportster and produced a limited edition called the XL50, of which only 2000 were made for sale worldwide. Each motorcycle was individually numbered and came in one of two colors, Mirage Pearl Orange or Vivid Black.

Also in 2007, electronic fuel injection was introduced to the Sportster family, and the Nightster model was introduced in mid-year. In 2009, Harley-Davidson added the Iron 883 to the Sportster line, as part of the Dark Custom series.

In the 2008 model year, Harley-Davidson released the XR1200 Sportster in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The XR1200 had an Evolution engine tuned to produce 91 bhp (68 kW), four-piston dual front disc brakes, and an aluminum swing arm. Featured the XR1200 on the cover of its July 2008 issue and was generally positive about it in their 'First Ride' story, in which Harley-Davidson was repeatedly asked to sell it in the United States. One possible reason for the delayed availability in the United States was the fact that Harley-Davidson had to obtain the 'XR1200' naming rights from Storz Performance, a Harley customizing shop in Ventura, Calif. The XR1200 was released in the United States in 2009 in a special color scheme including Mirage Orange highlighting its dirt-tracker heritage. The first 750 XR1200 models in 2009 were pre-ordered and came with a number 1 tag for the front of the bike, autographed by and and a thank you/welcome letter from the company, signed by Bill Davidson. [ ] The XR1200 was discontinued in model year 2013.

Designation Except for the street-going XR1000 of the 1980s and the XR1200, most Sportsters made for street use have the prefix XL in their model designation. For the Sportster Evolution engines used since the mid-1980s, there have been two engine sizes. Motorcycles with the smaller engine are designated XL883, while those with the larger engine were initially designated XL1100.

When the size of the larger engine was increased from 1,100 cc to 1,200 cc, the designation was changed accordingly from XL1100 to XL1200. Subsequent letters in the designation refer to model variations within the Sportster range, e.g. The XL883C refers to an 883 cc Sportster Custom, while the XL1200S designates the now-discontinued 1200 Sportster Sport.

2003 VRSCA V-Rod Introduced in 2001 and produced until 2017, the VRSC muscle bike family bears little resemblance to Harley's more traditional lineup. Competing against Japanese and American muscle bikes in the upcoming segment, the 'V-Rod' makes use of an engine developed jointly with that, for the first time in Harley history, incorporates and liquid cooling. The V-Rod is visually distinctive, easily identified by the 60-degree V-Twin engine, the radiator and the frame members that support the round-topped air cleaner cover. The VRSC was also used for factory drag-racing motorcycles.

In 2008, Harley added the anti-lock braking system as a factory installed option on all VRSC models. Harley also increased the displacement of the stock engine from 1,130 to 1,250 cc (69 to 76 cu in), which had only previously been available from Screamin' Eagle, and added a slipper clutch as standard equipment. 2006 VRSCD Night Rod VRSC models include: VRSCA: V-Rod (2002–2006), VRSCAW: V-Rod (2007–2010), VRSCB: V-Rod (2004–2005), VRSCD: Night Rod (2006–2008), VRSCDX: Night Rod Special (2007–2014), VRSCSE: Screamin' Eagle CVO V-Rod (2005), VRSCSE2: Screamin' Eagle CVO V-Rod (2006), VRSCR: Street Rod (2006–2007), VRSCX: Screamin' Eagle Tribute V-Rod (2007), VRSCF: V-Rod Muscle (2009–2014).

Designation VRSC models utilize the Revolution engine (VR), and the street versions are designated Street Custom (SC). After the VRSC prefix common to all street Revolution bikes, the next letter denotes the model, either A (base V-Rod: discontinued), AW (base V-Rod + W for Wide with a 240 mm rear tire), B (discontinued), D (Night Rod: discontinued), R (Street Rod: discontinued), SE and SEII(CVO Special Edition), or X (Special edition). Further differentiation within models are made with an additional letter, e.g., VRSCDX denotes the Night Rod Special. VRXSE [ ] The VRXSE V-Rod Destroyer is Harley-Davidson's production drag racing motorcycle, constructed to run the quarter mile in less than ten seconds. It is based on the same revolution engine that powers the VRSC line, but the VRXSE uses the Screamin' Eagle 1,300 cc 'stroked' incarnation, featuring a 75 mm crankshaft, 105 mm Pistons, and 58 mm throttle bodies.

The V-Rod Destroyer is not a street legal motorcycle. As such, it uses 'X' instead of 'SC' to denote a non-street bike. 'SE' denotes a CVO Special Edition. Main article: The Street, Harley-Davidson's newest platform and their first all new platform in thirteen years, was designed to appeal to younger riders looking for a lighter bike at a cheaper price.

The Street 750 model was launched in India at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo, Delhi-NCR on February 5, 2014. The Street 750 weighs 218 kg and has a ground clearance of 144 mm giving it the lowest weight and the highest ground clearance of Harley-Davidson motorcycles currently available. The Street 750 uses an all-new, liquid-cooled, 60° V-twin engine called the Revolution X. In the Street 750, the engine displaces 749 cc (45.7 cu in) and produces 65 Nm at 4,000 rpm. A six speed transmission is used.

The Street 750 and the smaller-displacement Street 500 has been available since late 2014. Street series motorcycles for the North American market will be built in Harley-Davidson's Kansas City, Missouri plant, while those for other markets around the world will be built completely in their plant in Bawal, India.

Custom Vehicle Operations [ ]. This section does not any. Unsourced material may be challenged and. (July 2011) () Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) is a team within Harley-Davidson that produces limited-edition customizations of Harley's stock models. Every year since 1999, the team has selected two to five of the company's base models and added higher-displacement engines, performance upgrades, special-edition paint jobs, more chromed or accented components, audio system upgrades, and electronic accessories to create high-dollar, premium-quality customizations for the market. The models most commonly upgraded in such a fashion are the Ultra Classic Electra Glide, which has been selected for CVO treatment every year from 2006 to the present, and the Road King, which was selected in 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2008. The Dyna, Softail, and VRSC families have also been selected for CVO customization.

Environmental record [ ] The conducted emissions-certification and representative emissions test in, in 2005. Subsequently, Harley-Davidson produced an 'environmental warranty'. The warranty ensures each owner that the vehicle is designed and built free of any defects in materials and workmanship that would cause the vehicle to not meet EPA standards. In 2005, the EPA and the (PADEP) confirmed Harley-Davidson to be the first corporation to voluntarily enroll in the One Clean-Up Program. This program is designed for the clean-up of the affected soil and groundwater at the former York Naval Ordnance Plant. The program is backed by the state and local government along with participating organizations and corporations. Paul Gotthold, Director of Operations for the EPA, congratulated the motor company: Harley-Davidson has taken their environmental responsibilities very seriously and has already made substantial progress in the investigation and cleanup of past contamination.

Proof of Harley's efforts can be found in the recent EPA determination that designates the Harley property as 'under control' for cleanup purposes. This determination means that there are no serious contamination problems at the facility. Under the new One Cleanup Program, Harley, EPA, and PADEP will expedite the completion of the property investigation and reach a final solution that will permanently protect human health and the environment. Harley-Davidson also purchased most of Castalloy, a South Australian producer of cast motorcycle wheels and hubs. The South Australian government has set forth 'protection to the purchaser (Harley-Davidson) against environmental risks'. In August 2016 Harley-Davidson settled with the EPA for $12 million, without admitting wrongdoing, over the sale of 'super tuners'. Super tuners were devices, marketed for competition, which enabled increased performance of Harley-Davidson products.

However, the devices also modified the emission control systems, producing increased and. Harley-Davidson is required to buy back and destroy any super tuners which do not meet requirements and spend $3 million on air pollution mitigation. Brand culture [ ]. Harley-Davidson Cafe located on the According to a recent Harley-Davidson study, in 1987 half of all Harley riders were under age 35. Now, only 15 percent of Harley buyers are under 35, and as of 2005, the age had risen to 46.7.

In 1987, the household income of a Harley-Davidson rider was $38,000. By 1997, the for those riders had more than doubled, to $83,000. [ ] Many Harley-Davidson Clubs exist nowadays around the world, the oldest one, founded in 1928, is in. Harley-Davidson attracts a loyal, with licensing of the Harley-Davidson logo accounting for almost 5 percent of the company's net revenue ($41 million in 2004). Harley-Davidson supplies many American police forces with their motorcycle fleets. Harley-Davidson motorcycles has long been associated with the sub-cultures of the,, and. Origin of 'Hog' nickname [ ] Beginning in 1920, a team of farm boys, including, who became known as the 'hog boys', consistently won races.

The group had a live as their. Following a win, they would put the hog on their Harley and take a.

In 1983, the Motor Company formed a club for owners of its product taking advantage of the long-standing nickname by turning 'hog' into the acronym HOG., for Harley Owners Group. Harley-Davidson attempted to trademark 'hog', but lost a case against an independent Harley-Davidson specialist, The Hog Farm of West Seneca, New York, in 1999 when the ruled that 'hog' had become a for large motorcycles and was therefore unprotectable as a trademark. On August 15, 2006, Harley-Davidson Inc. Had its NYSE ticker symbol changed from HDI to HOG. Bobbers [ ] Harley-Davidson FL 'big twins' normally had heavy steel fenders, chrome trim, and other ornate and heavy accessories. After, riders wanting more speed would often shorten the fenders or take them off completely to reduce the weight of the motorcycle.

These bikes were called 'bobbers' or sometimes 'choppers' because parts considered unnecessary were chopped off. Those who made or rode choppers and bobbers, especially members of outlaw bike gangs like the, referred to stock FLs as 'garbage wagons'. Harley Owners Group [ ]. Main article: Harley-Davidson established the (HOG) in 1983 to build on the loyalty of Harley-Davidson enthusiasts as a means to promote a lifestyle alongside its products. The HOG also opened new revenue streams for the company, with the production of tie-in merchandise offered to club members, numbering more than one million.

Other motorcycle brands, and other and consumer brands outside motorcycling, have also tried to create factory-sponsored clubs of their own. HOG members typically spend 30 percent more than other Harley owners, on such items as clothing and Harley-Davidson-sponsored events. In 1991, HOG went international, with the first official European HOG Rally in Cheltenham, England. Today, more than one million members and more than 1400 chapters worldwide make HOG the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world.

HOG benefits include organized group rides, exclusive products and product discounts, insurance discounts, and the Hog Tales newsletter. A one-year full membership is included with the purchase of a new, unregistered Harley-Davidson. In 2008, HOG celebrated its 25th anniversary in conjunction with the Harley 105th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This new tradition has continued every five years, and is referred to unofficially as 'Harleyfest', in line with Milwaukee's other festivals (Summerfest, German fest, Festa Italiana, etc.). This event brings Harley riders from all around the world. The 105th anniversary celebration was held on August 28–31, 2008, and included events in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Kenosha counties, in Southeast Wisconsin.
