First published in 1994, Harley – The Ultimate Machine rapidly established itself as a definitive work on the world’s most famous motorcycle maker. Skilfully blending rare historical archive pictures, specially commissioned colour studio portraits of landmark models, lifestyle pictures of riders, Harleys and the open road, and quotes and reminiscences from people “in the know”, it provided a gloriously rounded picture of a company that is so much more than just a motorcycle producer. It succeeded in getting behind the magic of the Harley Davidson brand name and explaining why the Harley lifestyle has come to represent something quintessentially American. Now updated and expanded to take account of the very latest developments, this 200-page edition of Harley – The Ultimate Machine focuses especially on what has been happening with the new models for 2000 and 2001. The big news is the release of an 88-inch V-twin engine called the Twin Cam 88 which has replaced the 80-inch Evolution as the power plant for all Harley’s big twins. It also looks forward to 2003 when Harley-Davidson will celebrate a special anniversary – 100 years in the business.

Harley-Davidson, Inc. (H-D, or simply Harley) is an American motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in 1903, it is one of two major American motorcycle manufacturers to survive the Great Depression along with its historical rival, Indian Motorcycles. The company has survived numerous ownership arrangements, subsidiary arrangements, periods of poor economic health and product quality, and intense global competition to become one of the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturers and an iconic brand widely known for its loyal following. There are owner clubs and events worldwide, as well as a company-sponsored, brand-focused museum.

Harley-Davidson is noted for a style of customization that gave rise to the chopper motorcycle style. The company traditionally marketed heavyweight, air-cooled cruiser motorcycles with engine displacements greater than 700 cc, but it has broadened its offerings to include more contemporary VRSC (2002) and middle-weight Street (2015) platforms.

Harley-Davidson manufactures its motorcycles at factories in York, Pennsylvania; Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin; Tomahawk, Wisconsin; Manaus, Brazil; and Rayong, Thailand. The company markets its products worldwide, and also licenses and markets merchandise under the Harley-Davidson brand, among them apparel, home décor and ornaments, accessories, toys, scale models of its motorcycles, and video games based on its motorcycle line and the community.
