Harley-Davidson® History

Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are some of the most well-known in the world. But even the most iconic industry giants have to start somewhere. If you've ever been curious as to how Harley® motorcycles got their start, read on!

The Beginning

Two childhood friends founded the company: William S. Harley® and Arthur Davidson. Their first creation was a single-cylinder engine that they attached to the classic pedal bike design. The machine worked, but it didn't pack enough power to get up the steep hills of Milwaukee. So they went back to the drawing board. They ended up creating an engine that worked with a bike that didn't use pedals. This paved the way for the first true release of a Harley® motorcycle in 1904.

The duo continued innovating and improving their Harley® motorcycles. Over time, they saw enough success that they were able to open a factory! This allowed them to create and distribute their iconic machines at a much faster pace than ever before. They also continued to innovate. In seven years, their engines operated at twice the horsepower as their original design. Soon these high performing machines were spotted on the racetrack as a true test of their capabilities.
 

Creating a Name for Themselves

With the rise of World War One, there was a high need for motorcycles. Harley-Davidson® received an order for 20,000 Harley® models. At the end of 1920, the company got the title "largest motorcycle manufacturer on the planet," and everyone wanted their own Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. The company became one of two that continually operated throughout the Great Depression. Then, World War Two came, and with it an order for 90,000 more Harley® motorcycles.

Benefits of a New Motorcycle

When you shop for motorcycles, your first major decision is whether to buy new or used. We've rounded up our favorite reasons for investing in new motorcycles below. If you have any questions or want to look at models, visit Bartels' Harley-Davidson®. We proudly serve those in Marina Del Rey, Malibu, and Santa Monica, California. 

Optimized Performance

It's no secret that you'll get the best riding experience from new motorcycles. The engine and all the working parts are pristine. The bike hasn't suffered from a lack of maintenance, an accident, or other issues that hurt its performance. You won't have to deal with jerky gear changes, delayed engine startup, and other common issues that crop up when machines get more worn down. The increased cost of new motorcycles provides you with boosted performance and an improved riding experience.

Peace of Mind

Sometimes motorcycles experience issues due to manufacturer error. It's the cost of innovation. Companies have to try new technologies and designs, which can occasionally result in a problem. You shouldn't have to pay to fix this problem! New motorcycles come with a warranty which can often cover the maintenance costs of manufacturer error. You'll save money and gain peace of mind about repairs. The specific warranty is situational, so be sure you fully understand it before you buy.

Cutting Edge Features

This year's models are going to boast this year's technology. Enjoy a safer ride due to more responsive brakes. Save money thanks to higher fuel efficiency. Get the most recent gadgets and gizmos to bring innovative technology to your riding experience. Buying new means of investing in the latest and greatest technology, which can take your ride to new levels.

Aesthetics

Sure, your priority for your new vehicle isn't how it looks. But it is still a factor when investing in a bike. You want to enjoy how it looks as you cruise around town. New motorcycles are in peak condition. You won't find any faded paint, dents, or scratches here! Instead, you'll be riding a sleek motorcycle that is bound to attract attention as you ride.
