What We Do
In 1903, out of a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, four young men lit a cultural wildfire that would grow and spread across geographies and generations. Their innovation and imagination for what was possible on two wheels sparked a transportation revolution and lifestyle that would make Harley-Davidson the most desirable motorcycle brand in the world.
• Our Mission: More than building machines, we stand for the timeless pursuit of adventure. Freedom for the soul.
• Our Vision: Building our legend and leading our industry through innovation, evolution and emotion.
