]]>You fell in love with your bike the moment you saw it. But have you ever wondered which Harley models command that reaction most often? Check out some of the best-selling and most popular Harley motorcycles.
Harley Davidson doesn’t have just one single motorcycle that’s the frontrunner when it comes to sales. Every rider has their own style and riding habits, making different bikes the right fit for different people.
In 2017, the Street 750 was one of the highest-selling motorcycles overall, not just compared to other Harley models. People loved this bike because of its sleek design and power.
Another consistently high seller is the Sportster. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, because the Sportster is a great first bike. When you’re just getting into motorcycling and are becoming a more confident rider, the Sportster is the perfect bike. It’s smaller than other models and easy to handle.
Every one of our Harley riders is different. We don’t just have one motorcycle that is the most popular. The best thing about Harley is that there’s a bike for everyone, whatever your needs and lifestyle are. Here are some bikes we think are the most popular among Harley motorcyclists:
The “best” motorcycle depends on the person. What you think is the best bike is probably different than other riders’ picks. The perfect bike comes down to these three types of riders:

When deciding on which color to get, you should pick whichever one speaks to you the most. You can always customize your bike with a unique paint job.
Have you ever wondered if your bike’s color is common or uncommon? Check out the most popular colors for road bikes and how your bike’s color could affect some of the costs.
There are nearly unlimited options for colors for your bike. There are several colors that are the most common and popular among motorcyclists. Check out those colors below:
Did your bike’s color make the list? Were there any colors you were expecting but didn’t see? You may be thinking that the classic Harley Davidson orange should be one of the common paint colors. The orange and black paint job, mimicking the logo, is a really memorable paint job. It’s memorable, but it’s actually not as common.
If a color comes standard for the bike that you’re looking at, it probably won’t end up costing any more. With bike prices being negotiable, it’s tricky to figure out exactly how a certain color affects the cost of a bike.
If you want a custom paint job, it will cost more. Related to that, if Harley Davidson makes a bike with a limited-edition paint scheme, it will cost more. Bikes with those types of colors will also likely resell for more (or possibly less depending on the buyer) because they’re uncommon.
And, unlike cars, your motorcycle’s color should not affect your insurance costs.

]]>The post The History of Harley Davidson appeared first on Susquehanna Valley Harley Davidson.
]]>The story of Harley Davidson begins before the company was founded. In 1901, William S. Harley finished a blueprint of an engine that was to be attached to a bicycle. Harley Davidson Motor Company was officially founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson. The “factory” in which the men worked was a small wooden shed with “Harley-Davidson Motor Company” written on the door. Arthur’s brother Walter also joined the company at this time.
With its long history, we can’t list every single event in our company’s history. However, we’ve picked some critical points in Harley Davidson history to give you a starting point to discover more:
Like the company, Harley Davidson engines also evolved over the years:
Each type of engine marked a new era in Harley Davidson history. The changes in these engines show technological innovation and the company’s dedication to developing the best products for the public. Today, Harley Davidson motorcycles use a variety of engines specially designed for our different models, including:
Harley Davidson has humble beginnings — it started as three men building bikes in a small shed. Today, it is an internationally recognized and loved brand. We’re proud of where we began, and we can’t wait to see where Harley Davidson goes in the future.
Now that you know the Harley Davidson story, we hope you appreciate your bike and the culture of Harley Davidson even more. Or maybe (hopefully) we’ve inspired you to consider buying a Harley Davidson motorcycle yourself. We love Harley Davidson, and we know you will too. See what our customers have to say about us.
