The Amazing Harley Motorcycle

By Ledley Withenshaw




You'll find numerous motorbikes available on the market at the moment, but nothing compares to the make, style, and sound a Harley Davidson Bike offers. Harley motorcycles remain one of the most iconic American brands about. Given that they were initially made in 1903 (the first unit ever made was a push bicycle powered by a small engine) they have stood the test of time within a remarkably competitive market.

The kind of items that this corporation now offers is a big enhancement from its first model, it now has a status that precedes all other motorbike companies across the planet. What then is the key behind Harley motorbikes?

Lots of people state that it's the aura that a Harley Davidson has regardless of whether it's parked on the side of the road or when it drives by you, that fans refer to as "Harley Mania." It could also be the intimidating hum it creates due to the vast V-twin engine it supports on its chassis, that makes everything shake as it passes by.

Nevertheless whatever the reason may perhaps be, Harley motorbikes have an particular magic making it one of the most highly regarded motorcycles in the world. Nevertheless then again, we have to ask ourselves if the brand is well deserving of its admiration.

Harley motorcycles have an unmistakeable image that at times precedes itself. You might even maintain it is the Apple of motorbikes. Harley owners seem to become fanatics and buy all manner of items that aren't even vaguely linked to the bike itself. Coasters, beer holders, apparel, watches...you name it...you can get something with a Harley Davidson brand on it.

The people behind Harley Davidson have blindly focused all efforts on the beautification of their product that they forgot to work on a considerable aspect of any appliance - performance. All standard motorcycles are rated based on certain criteria, these are top speed, acceleration and horsepower; only the Harley Davidson can slip past this.

The Harley would almost certainly have the lowest rank if it were to go through this kind of testing. It has the slowest acceleration speed, it has the slowest top speed and it has the lowest horse power output in comparison to all motorcycle brands. Possibly an electronic wheelchair will even give this motorbike a run for its money. The only thing going for this product is its image and also the noise it creates.

Nevertheless, even though having one of the worst over-all performance, this motorcycle remains one that is well revered around the globe. This is the precise reason the man who started Harley Davidson Motorcycles has an intellect like no other.

You have to say that the Harley Davidson is a well marketed brand but it may also be fluky that it made it's name at the right time in the right country. It sort of fitted into the pop culture of the United States in biker movies like Easy Rider.

Riding a bike was like an act of autonomy, specially the chopper style bikes that you could lean back into. Furthermore since the US popular culture was almost exported to the rest of the world, loads of brands just like Harley Davidson, attained this aura. This aura has stayed with the motorbike but even so, it remains an expensive bike that individuals with a large amount of disposable income can afford.
