Harley-Davidson Editorial

The twin belt drive Sturgis is miles from the middle of the road stock motorcycle. Its innovative belt drive system and low slung styling put it way ahead of the pack. It's a unique custom machine, and more.

Deep inside lies the heart and soul of Harley-Davidson.

The twist of a wrist. The simple action that unleashes 77 years of motorcycle legend. The key that unlocks a unique combination of pride, craftsmanship and unflinching commitment.

The 1981 Harley-Davidson motorcycles are already part of that tradition. They are the ultimate result of years of living, breathing and building motorcycles the way motorcyclists want them to be built.

They are the result of years of distinctive styling and design. And of constant refinement and unending quality control.

The principle of simplicity has been fiercely adhered to. Because a simple machine is inherently more dependable, serviceable and durable.

Over the years, the Harley-Davidson point of view has remained the same. The people at Harley have always understood that the most important part of any motorcycle is the rider.

Just turn the key and you shall see. You become a part, a very important part of the heritage of Harley. And after you've put in a few miles, you will begin to truly understand. You will realize how much more than a machine Harley-Davidson really is.

AMF Harley-Davidson. More than a machine.
