The oldest Harley-Davidson in existence was built in 1903. This rare Harley is marked Serial No. 1 and can be seen along with other vintage motorcycles at The Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

America’s most iconic motorcycle company got its start in a shed in Wisconsin when William Harley and the Davidson brothers, Arthur and Walter, started building motorcycles. During this time, there were many motorcycle start-up companies forming, but the quality and craftsmanship of the Harley-Davidson helped it to flourish when many competitors went out of business. The Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee showcases most of the company’s line of motorcycles, including this one, the very first motorcycle the company built in 1903. (source: Karen Harris)
