Types of Harley Davidson Motorcycles

1. • Saddlebags are one option when building your dream motorcycle.

     The Harley Davidson Company has been building motorcycles since the two founders created the first one in their wooden shed in 1903. Since then the line of motorcycles has expanded and today there are several different models of Harley Davidson motorcycles, each with features that make it distinctively a Harley.

   Softail Deluxe

   • The Softail Deluxe has what Harley Davidson call a "nostalgic chrome tank console" and a narrow seat. The weight of this bike is 726 pounds when running and is 94.7 inches in length. The seat height when you are riding is 25.9 inches. Other features include full length floor boards, a tombstone taillight and a seven-inch ball headlamp. Other accessories such as rear end components, windshields and luggage rack can be added to the motorcycle to customize it as you wish.

   • The Sportster is a lighter weight model with a running weight of 589 pounds and is just over 90 inches in length.
