It was a decisive day in the history of American automobile culture in 1902, when two young friends left their stable jobs at a Milwaukee engineering firm to embark upon a venture that would irrevocably shape the course of motorcycle history forever.

This was the day when William S Harley and Arthur Davidson designed and built the first single-cylinder engine (400CC) right out of a toolshed in Davidson’s backyard.

Although though the first motor was reliable, it was enlarged because it was underpowered. The initial frame was too weak to hold the new engine so it was replaced with a stronger, more substantial structure that was built similar to the prototype. In 1903 they produced two more bikes and three the following year. This year 2021, the latest Street Bobs motorcycles are now in stock and out in the market.
