Harley-Davidson is the most famous name in the world of motorcycling. Its machines are icons, evoking images of cruising on the open road and the Easy Rider lifestyle. No other motorcycle can match the style, looks or sound of these polished chrome masterpieces with their rumbling V-twin engines.
Harley-Davidson Classics zooms in on the greatest bikes that the company has made, giving a close-up portrait of each machine. Outstanding specially commissioned photography highlights every aspect of each motorcycle with superb double page pictures and close-up shots. Comprehensive specification boxes also accompany each model and cover all the technical aspects of the machines, including engine types and sizes, frames, transmissions, suspensions and brakes. This is followed by an in-depth description of the bike’s development and manufacturing history.
