The Brand History of Harley Davidson

The Brand History of Harley Davidson

The Brand History of Harley Davidson: founded in 1903 by William. S. Davidson, a young successful business man. Who at only the age of 21 created arguably, the most iconic motorcycle designs in history. 

The beginning of the Harley Davidson Brand History, literally is the start to a movie. (Which someone really should make) where the Harley Davidson bike, which was designed and made from scratch in the family shed, won a race. People took notice, and the first of these amazing designs was brought by a company, which then began to mass produce these iconic designs. These designs only grew and got more profound. Eventually, the Davidson’s created a empire for themselves that continues to this day.

After Davidson sold several designs and won some elite races. Even law enforcement realised how amazing this company was, and in 1908-1909 Police officers began to use them. The Harley Davidson won countless competitions and continuously wowed the public.

 When the Roaring 20’s hit Harley Davidson’s were the biggest motorcycle factory in the World. In just a short amount of time this company had gone from two family members making blue prints in their shed, to national domination. They not only had some incredible power behind their  engines, but they had amazing class and style, a class and style that has continued to this day. The Brand History of Harley Davidson is truly proof that hard work pays of.

Jumping Forward a few years to the flirty thirties, the Brand History of Harley Davidson continues to develop. These  gorgeous motorbikes really discovered there unique design. Adding chunky wheels and seductive colours, they created and really defined that stunning Harley Davidson signature we all love.

In 1947 this phenomenal business makes the plunge into the world of fashion. Harley Davidson started to sell those delicious, classic black leather motorcycle jackets. That signature style still looks just as good today.

In the next decade (1953) the logo was reinvented, as a special treat for the companies fiftieth birthday. This stunning design is what we use today. Even Elvis Presley shows of his new found talent on the back of one of these bikes.

In 2001 the first ever professional female motorcyclist, joins the racing team at Harley Davidson, competing in several different races and bossing each and every one of them. Not to mention this lovely lady is gorgeous and wears that uniform like its runway ready.

Rin Tanaka has outdone himself.
