The Harley-Davidson Story: Tales from the Archives is a fascinating, visually driven overview of the motor company's rich story, created in cooperation with the Harley-Davidson Museum. The story of Harley-Davidson is a classic American tale of spirit, invention, and the right idea at the right time. From its beginning in a small Milwaukee shed in 1903, William Harley and his cousins, the Davidson brothers, set in motion what would eventually become the world’s most iconic motorcycle company. While other motorcycle companies rose and fell through the teens and 1920s, Harley went from strength to strength, whether introducing its first V-twin motor or dominating race tracks across America. The Milwaukee Miracle even prospered during WWII, building war bikes for the armed forces. By the 1950s, they’d buried their last American-built competitor, Indian, and gained a hold over the US market that they maintain to this day. A remarkable story deserves a remarkable space to recount it. Such is the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, which opened in 2009. Harley-Davidson partnered with Motorbooks to create this book relaying Harley-Davidson’s story, as told through the museum’s displays and archive assets.

In Harley-Davidson, moto-journalist Christopher P. Baker offers a complete guide to every production engine ever built by the USA's leading motorcycle brand. This book presents each of the distinct engine epochs chronologically in its own chapter, including profiles of archetypal motorcycle models best associated with each engine. Images of a select variant most representative of each engine era illustrate the introduction of each chapter. Further details on these highlighted engines are given in the pages for the specific model from which each was taken. More than 40 classic Harleys are portrayed in detail, from the first "Model Number 1" F-head single of 1903 to the Pan America adventure tourer of 2021, powered by Harley's state-of-the-art liquid-cooled Revolution Max engine. In between, the development of the Harley-Davidson engines is traced as a gradual evolutionary process, reflecting how the brand's unique classic V-Twin characteristics--hearkening all the way back to the F-head 45-degree layout--came to define an attitude, emotion, and lifestyle, fostering a company maxim: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Harley-Davidson: words that evoke the open American road and the 'Made in America' tradition like no others. The sweeping chopper handlebars, the distinctive throaty 'potato potato' roar of the engine and the unmistakable logo are all emblems recognized the world over. This book expertly ties together the mechanical evolution of the Harley's engines – from the earliest motorized pedal bicycles to the iconic heavyweight twin cylinder V-engines we know and love today – and the social history of the brand's phenomenal rise in the twentieth century, as innovative survivor of the Great Depression, supplier of the military during both World Wars and enduring symbol of freedom and rebellion in movies such as 'Easy Rider'. It is fully illustrated with pictures of the bikes and those who have ridden them as well as beautiful examples of H-D's distinctive design aesthetic in advertising and collectibles.
