The Oldest Harley-davidson In Existence Was Built In 1903. This Rare Harley Is Marked Serial No. 1

The oldest Harley-Davidson in existence was built in 1903.



This rare Harley is marked Serial No. 1
and can be seen along with other vintage motorcycles
at The Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

America’s most iconic motorcycle company got its start in a shed
in Wisconsin when William Harley and the Davidson brothers,
Arthur and Walter, started building motorcycles.

During this time, there were many motorcycle
start-up companies forming, but the quality
and craftsmanship of the Harley-Davidson
helped it to flourish when many competitors
went out of business.

The Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee showcases
most of the company’s line of motorcycles,
including this one,
the very first motorcycle the company built in 1903.
