The timeless classic built for today
This is where stripped down, nostalgic style meets the performance and versatility of a modern Harley-Davidson touring machine.
Not only in the US were the streets at the beginning of the last century often in very bad condition. Nevertheless, many drivers in the big country had to overcome enormous distances. As a result, absolute long-haul reliability was an important criterion for Milwaukee motorcycles right from the start: on a Harley-Davidson, they arrived at their destination even under adverse conditions. The reputation of the brand quickly spread throughout the country and in other parts of the world, and in the twenties of the last century, adventurous globetrotters made their way to Harleys into the vastness of Africa and China. Fully equipped Harley “Dresser” characterized the following decades – travel machines, which were unparalleled in their respective era. Generations of V-Twin engines have served their duty in the “big” Harley models: F-Head, Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution and Twin Cam in different chassis and frame designs were used in the travel machines, in each In the era of the company’s long history, the topic “touring” played an important role. It was these machines that made a lasting impact on the image of the Harley-Davidson brand.
