Harley-Davidson Celebrates 120 Years In Style

Notable Milestone

Harley-Davidson is one of the oldest and most iconic manufacturers in American history, a company that was founded in 1903 and one of only two motorcycle makers - along with Indian - to survive the Great Depression. Harley has faced its fair share of adversity in the years since, but is still going strong as the company prepares to celebrate its 120th birthday in style.
