The Harley-Davidson Book - Refueled presents the history, lifestyle, and unique attitude towards life of the American motorcycle brand in a 32-page expanded and revised new edition.

What comes to mind first when you hear the name Harley-Davidson? Freedom, speed, roaring engines, and passion on two wheels. No other motorcycle brand in the world has the almost mystical reputation of a Harley-Davidson. For over a hundred years, this American classic from Milwaukee has shaped the motorcycle world. The fascination revolves around the typical 45-degree V2 engine. While single-cylinder engines have come and gone from the Harley lineup over time, the two-cylinder engine is its defining style. Like a sculpture, it sits deep within the intricate tubular steel frame—an aesthetic revelation... and an auditory one too. Once you've heard the sound of an early "knucklehead," you're addicted for life! This is a book about the power and beauty of the engines and the elegance and strength of these machines from Lake Michigan. It is a homage to the flatheads, knuckleheads, panheads, ironheads, the shovels and evolutions, and the contemporary fuel injectors. And at the same time, it is a presentation of the water-cooled V2, the Street models, the electrified Live-Wire, and the new Harley motorcycle genres: the naked bike "Bronx," the large enduro "Pan America," and medium-heavy e-bikes.

The Harley-Davidson Book - Refueled is a visual journey through a tradition deeply rooted in the spirit of freedom of the USA. What would Easy Rider be without its iconic heroes, "Billy Bike" and "Captain America," the most famous motorcycles in the world? This free-wheeling attitude is conveyed in lavish, photo-rich stories and articles about the unique Harley-Davidson lifestyle. It's a road movie that you experience yourself, vibrating like an old one in its rigid frame. This refueled edition of our bestseller Harley-Davidson book features 32 new pages and a number of updated chapters, honoring the Harley in all its facets. Ride through the history of the Milwaukee legend, get up close to the pristine design, and explore the Harley-Davidson lifestyle that sees riders on the beach, the ice, or in the mountains. A must-have book for everyone who agrees with the company founder's grandson, Willie G. Davidson: "On the eighth day, God created Harley-Davidson."
