Classic American Motorcycles

America has produced some of the most recognisable motorcycles that have graced the road. The products of Harley-Davidson and Indian have gained millions of followers since their conception in the early 20th century. The original motorcycle boom of 1890 - 1930, saw hundreds of ambitious manufacturers rise and fall around the world. The scramble to secure a share of the rapidly emerging market for two wheelers was especially keen in the United States, with its growing economy and industrial resources. Motorcycles primarily offered economical transportation, the notion of motorcycles as recreational devices gathered momentum in the United States only after Henry Ford made cars the more affordable choice.
