The History of the Harley-Davidson Sportster #infographic

Published by Web Desk Sunday, October 11, 2015

The Harley Davidson Sportster, also known simply as the Sportster is a model of motorcycle that has been continuously produced since the 1950s but the true history of the Sportster started much earlier than that. Small twin motorcycles were introduced in 1919 with the Model W. These motorcycles were smaller in comparison than the other motorcycles produced by the company at the time and were used to appeal to a completely new audience that otherwise might not be interested in a big bulky powerful motorcycle to start off with. The popularity exploded and over the next several decades it became clear that small twins needed a definitive name and line to stand behind. Thus, the Sportster was born and the rebellious spirit was awoken in millions of Americans.

This infographic, created by the motorcycle title loan company Titlemax, is a timeline of the history and evolution of the Sportster starting from the early Model W and leading straight through to today's XL Evolution and Iron 883.
