Harley-Davidson's Accessories Catalog Weighs 3 Pounds and Is 800 Pages Long

I've always known that Harley-Davidson has a back catalog of parts to rival everyone and everything on the planet, it's why no two Harleys are alike.

Harley-Davidson Will Now Sell You a $110,000 Motorcycle

It's Real Weird to Ride a Motorcycle Fitted With Outriggers

I think Harley-Davidson's engineer, as well as three of its press people, told me no less than eight times "Whatever you do, don't put your feet down."

Ducati New XDiavel V4 Pushes It That Much Closer to a Harley

I'll be honest, when I first rode the Ducati Diavel ages ago, I wasn't a fan. Even to this day, I'm not the cruiser guy, nor do I truly understand the allure of the cruiser layout. I mean, I hurt my spine in a motorcycle crash ages ago. Why would…

Despite the Online Controversies, Harley-Davidson Needs to Diversify

I get a lot of flack from the Harley-Davidson faithful. A lot of it. Through emails, in RideApart's comments section, on social media, and yelled at me while I'm out on the street. Everyone has an opinion on my, and this site's, Harley coverage.

Harley-Davidson Made a More Street-Focused Pan America and It Looks Like Fun

Harley-Davidson hasn't had an easy time as of late.
