The top four most famous people world wide of all time
  1. Albert Einstein
  2. Leonardo Da Vinci
  3. Mozart
  4. Michael Jackson
I'm fairly sure Da Vinci and and Mozart didn't have motorcycles, I can't find any indication Einstein had one. So it would be Michael Jackson as he had a Police edition Harley.

Second person that came to my mind was "General Blackjack Pershing" and the Harley he rode while chasing Pancho Villa. Who was riding an Indian.

No one mentioned Neil Peart (Rush Drummer extraordinaire) who has ridden and written about riding across North America and rides a BMW GS.

Also actors Ewan McGregor and Charlie Borman who had two TV series on cable, as pet projects, about riding around the world (Long Way Round) and through Africa (Long Way Down). BTW recommend renting the DVDs if you have not seen them, they're awesome. (rode BMW GS for the series but also ride other bikes) Charlie also has competed in the Paris to Dakar rally twice.

My Google-foo is weak, but the only Michael Jackson I could find on the internet with a Police Edition Harley works for the Prince George (Maryland) County Sheriff's Dept. As of 2010, the Sheriff's Office is headed by Sheriff Michael A. Jackson, presently on his second term and rides a Police Edition Harley...
