Harley Davidson Motorcycle History
Harley Davidson History
In 1901, William S. Harley, age 21, completes a blueprint drawing of an engine designed to fit into a bicycle. He was working on the project with Arthur Davidson and together, they made Harley- Davidson motorcycle company.
In 1903, William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson make available to the public the first production Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. The bike was built to be a racer, with a 3-1/8 inch bore and 3-1/2 inch stroke. The factory in which they worked was a 10 x 15-foot wooden shed with the words "Harley-Davidson Motor Company" crudely scrawled on the door. Arthur's brother Walter later joins their efforts.
