Harley Davidson motorcycles have been around for over a century now. The first Harley was made available to the public in 1900, and over the course of a century, this motorcycle brand has become increasingly popular.

This engine was able to help catapult Harley Davidson to the forefront of popular motorcycles for the time. The well-loved bar & shield logo helped this motorcycle brand stand out above other brands.
