The plain facts:

• This Harley-Davidson 74 (flathead) was built in 1932. The first 74 cubic inch V-twin engines, however, had originally been introduced on the JD and FD models back in 1922.

And some rather more colourful, esoteric little snippets for the real enthusiast…

• By 1933, one year after the arrival of the Harley-Davidson 74, the motorcycle industry was feeling the effects of the Great Depression. In a move to stimulate sales, Harley-Davidson began painting an art-deco ‘eagle’ on all gas tanks. This marked the start of graphic designs on all Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
• Harley-Davidson are renowned for their big V-twin engines (as first introduced in 1922). In WWII, however, the US Army requested that they develop a model based on a captured Nazi BMW horizontally opposed, shaft-driven R71. This was to be the XA. The XA oil temperature was said to run 100°F (37°) cooler than the V-twin Harley-Davidson of the time. The XA did not last long and production ceased before the end of WW2
• The Harley-Davidson story began back in 1901 when one William S. Harley, aged 21, completed a blueprint drawing of an engine designed to fit into a bicycle. Two years later, in 1903, William S. Harley and schoolfriend Arthur Davidson made the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle from a small wooden shed which served as their ‘factory’. By 1904, the first Harley-Davidson dealer opened for business, by 1907 the Harley-Davidson Motor Company was incorporated and by 1920 Harley-Davidson was the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, with over 2,000 dealerships in 67 countries.
