€17.90

The Story of Harley-Davidson is a compact and dynamic exploration of the legendary motorcycle manufacturer.

Harley‑Davidson’s story begins in a small Milwaukee workshop and grows into one of the most recognisable silhouettes on the road — a brand built on rebellion, craftsmanship and the promise of adventure. This book traces that rise across more than a century, following the company through innovation, near‑collapse, reinvention and global fame, while showcasing legendary models from Touring bikes to Choppers and the groundbreaking electric LiveWire.

Alongside its machines, the narrative explores the culture that made Harley a phenomenon: the riders, the engineering breakthroughs, the bold risks and the stubborn commitment to identity that kept the brand alive through turbulent decades. Paired with striking imagery and sharp commentary, it captures the full sweep of Harley‑Davidson’s evolution — its highs, lows and enduring roar.
