This translates to over a century worth of establishing its name and reputation for the production of superior quality motorbikes.
Not to forget that this period also means 116 years of the earlier riders passing the Harley legacy from generation to generation. (If you’re a Harley lover, maybe you should consider creating your own Harley legacy within your family?).

If you do your research today, you’ll notice that the manufacturer has a number of retail stores in numerous shopping centers around the united states (they have also expressed plans of setting up even more stores).
Surprisingly, these stores aren’t mainly focused on selling HD bikes or gear…slip into one store and you’ll find t-shirts, shoes, teddy bears, bed sheets, blankets, etc.—all featuring the famous HD’s bar-and-shield logo.

Isn’t that the perfect way to explore the countryside?
If you combine the heavyweight nature and V twin motors of the Harleys, you’ve got yourself the most perfect two-wheel machine to make your tours real pleasure!

If you’re a keen observer, you might have noticed that some HD motorcycle owners go through multiple Harleys trying them out. This is so because they’re able to sell their current bikes at good prices and invest in a new model.
Moreover, the HD bikes tend to appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. This means you can still sell your bike at a good price to these people long after its model has ended.

As you can easily guess, the would-be motorcyclist would only wish one thing at that moment—ride a Harley Davidson, just like the stars.
