Harley Davidson: The Ultimate Machine chronicles the success story of America's favourite motorcycle with hundreds of detailed full-colour and black-and-white images, collected experiences of veteran riders and an in-depth history of the bike's evolution and influence.

Harley Davidson captures the freedom and the spirit of the Harley-Davidson that has earned it the admiration of millions of riders, collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
