A visual history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles

Darwin Holmstrom’s illustrated history surveys Harley-Davidson motorcycles from the company’s earliest prototype through the models covered in this 2016 edition. Knucklehead, Panhead, Sportster, XR750, V-Rod and other machines anchor the book’s broad account of the marque’s major designs. Historic images sit alongside contemporary motorcycle photography, while chapters by motorcycle writers including Peter Egan, Kevin Cameron and Ed Youngblood add further perspectives. The combination makes the book both a model-by-model visual record and an overview of the company’s development through its motorcycles.

Book overview

Cruise through this collection of Harley-Davidson's most iconic motorcycles!

When most people imagine a motorcycle, chances are they picture a Harley-Davidson. That's because Harley-Davidson machines look the way the primordial biker inside each of us feels a motorcycle should look. In short, Harley-Davidson makes mythic bikes. Harley-Davidson: The Complete History celebrates these iconic motorcycles, presenting them all in one beautifully illustrated book.

The most beloved and recognizable motorcycles are included here: the Knucklehead, the Panhead, the Peashooter, the KR, the Sportster, the XR750, the Shovelhead, the Evolution, the Twin Cam, the V-Rod, and all the rest. Pages in the book reveal historic images as well as modern photos from the top motorcycle photographers working today. Additionally, there are chapters from some of the most celebrated motorcycle writers of all time--Peter Egan, Kevin Cameron, Ed Youngblood, Allan Girdler, Steve Anderson, and many more. All of this material combines to tell the story of every major motorcycle that Harley-Davidson has built, from the very first prototype to the Silent Gray Fellow to the latest liquid-cooled CVO Electra Glides and Softails. Harley-Davidson: The Complete History is the ultimate history of the ultimate motorcycle company.
