WHAT?! No XR750, the absolute most dominating flat track machine of all time and Evel Knievel’s weapon of choice?

1994 FXR is one of H-D notable bikes of all times. Nimble as all get-out.

This is a farely lame list of ~notable~ Harley Davidson Motorcycles probably written by someone who was born in the 1980s. And this reads like a H-D sales press release.

In addition to Dave Minella's comment from above how about:
No Early '70s Superglide- the first factory custom?
No Sportster of the 1950s?
No 1930s models?
77 XLCR, while nifty in retrospect, was a sales failure of the time
VR1000- street legal only in Poland so who cares other than it maybe led to the semi-lame water cooled model of today- also not mentioned
etc
etc

I have to agree with those who think that this whole topic is just plain lame. It is almost like the author had to come up with something to put down on paper and at the last moment, this is what came forth. Lame, at best. More appropriately, this article is a pantload.

And what about the twin belt drive Sturgis, as designed by Erik Buell ? I agree, shame,a lame listing.

Whoever wrote this needs a history lesson. HD produced dedicated race bikes in the teens. As far as notable bikes go you missed the boat by a good distance. Notable HD's; Peashooter, Knucklehead, K model,XLCH, Boattail Super Glide, 1965 Electra Glide, and how about the two-strokes that won the world championship back in 75. Silent Grey fellow, fore and aft 500. Sport 750 (export only in 30's). Really a very poor effort.

This is really a poor effort. Whoever wrote it needs history lesson. HD made dedicated racers back in the teens, and he ignored some of the most iconic models the company ever made. Do some research next time and learn something about the silent gray fellow, the peashooter, the knucklehead, the WR, the fore and aft 500, the K and XLCH and the two strokes that won the 1975 world championship. Very poorly done.
