The founders of the Harley Davidson motorcycle company were 3 friends. They were attracted by the idea of creating a bicycle for cycling that does not require pedaling.
In 1902, the first model created by the Davidson brothers was released. It was collected by hand. The volume of the engine was 165 cc.
A year later, an engine with 406 cc was released. It was mounted on a frame and the first motorcycle was born.
For 4 years, 50 motorcycles were created in black and gray colors with low engine power. But since there was a desire to get high speeds, they developed a strong motor.
This is how the M-shaped 2-cylinder 4-stroke engine appeared, which became the main engine in the company. The conventional motorized bike has become the Legend motorcycle that many people like.
Nowadays, many series are produced, differing in characteristics and appearance.
