Harley-Davidson Museum (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

Harley-Davidson Museum (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

The Harley-Davidson Museum is a North American museum near downtown, Milwaukee, Wisconsin celebrating the more than 100-year history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m²) three building complex on 20 acres (81,000 m²) along the Menomonee River bank contains more than 450 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and hundreds of thousands of artifacts from the Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s 110-year history. The museum attracts an estimated 300,000 visitors annually. The museum opened to the public on July 12, 2008, on a 20 acres (81,000 m²) site in the Menomonee Valley. The museum was built in an historically industrial area of Milwaukee. Prior to Harley-Davidson’s purchase of the land from the city, the site was formerly used by the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, Lakeshore Sand Company, and Morton Salt. A 4 feet (1.2 m) layer of imported soil was added to combat the contaminated soil. New vegetation was planted to restore the landscape to its riparian state. In late February 2006, designs for the museum were unveiled. The designs were created by James Biber, a partner at Pentagram, his team, and Michael Zweck-Bonner, an associate at Pentagram. Abbott Miller, a partner at Pentagram, designed the museum’s permanent exhibitions. The firm designed the museum over a period of eight years. On June 1, 2006, Harley-Davidson began the construction of the $75 million complex with a groundbreaking ceremony that included legendary Harley-Davidson dirt track motorcycle racer, Scott Parker, breaking ground by doing a burnout with a Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster, instead of with the traditional golden shovel. The site includes parking spaces for 1,000 motorcycles and 500 cars. The Museum’s facade also features a 17-foot (5.2 m)-tall, steel Harley-Davidson sign. The museum’s galleries permanent exhibitions, spread throughout two floors, in addition to temporary exhibits and the motor company’s archives. The complex also includes a restaurant, café, retail shop, and special event spaces. Also on display are historic Harley-Davidson items that tell the company’s story and history, such as photographs, posters, advertisements, clothes, trophies, video footage of vintage and contemporary motorcycling, and interactive exhibits, including 10 motorcycles that visitors can sit on.

The Motorcycle Gallery
On the museum’s upper level, a procession of motorcycles is displayed down the center of the main hall, running the length of the building, with galleries on either side.

The Harley-Davidson Journey
Along the east side of the upstairs galleries, a series of interconnected galleries exhibit the Harley-Davidson’s chronological history. The galleries relate the company’s history from its origins in a 10×15-foot wooden shack to its current status as the top U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, producing more than 330,000 bikes each year. The centerpiece of the gallery is "Serial Number One", the oldest known Harley-Davidson in existence, which is encased in glass. The glass enclosure sits within a floor-embedded, illuminated outline of the backyard shed the motor company was founded in.

The Engine Room
The museum’s second floor galleries begin with the Engine Room. A Knucklehead engine is displayed disassembled into several pieces. The Engine Room also features several interactive touch screen elements that show how Harley motors, including Panhead and Shovelhead motors work.

Clubs and Competition
The Clubs and Competition gallery includes displays and information about Harley-Davidson’s racing history. The gallery includes a section of a replica wooden board track, suspended in the air at a 45-degree incline. The wooden track features vintage video footage of actual board track races, and attached 1920s-era Harley-Davidson racing motorcycles; the bikes that raced on board tracks at 100 miles -per-hour. Fatalities were common, which led to the banning of wooden board tracks for motorcycle racing.

Tank Gallery
The museum’s upper floor exhibits also include the Gas Tank Gallery, formerly part of the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Open Road Tour. The exhibit displays 100 of Harley-Davidson’s most memorable tank graphics, spanning 70 years, selected by the company’s styling department and reproduced on "Fat Bob" tanks.

Custom Culture
The Custom Culture gallery covers Harley-Davidson’s impact on American and global culture. The centerpiece of the Custom Culture Gallery is "King Kong", a 13-foot (4.0 m)-long, two-engine Harley-Davidson motorcycle customized by Felix Predko. The exhibit also features exact replicas of the customized Harley-Davidson bikes ridden by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in the 1969 American movie, "Easy Rider", including Fonda’s "Captain America" chopper and Hopper’s "Billy Bike". Two of each of the two choppers were created, and one "Captain America" was destroyed in the film’s production.

Harley-Davidson® Factory Custom Paint & Graphics

The Factory Custom Paint & Graphics program provides premium paint-and-graphics options on select models for customers seeking a standout finish. Available through authorized dealerships, these custom finishes are applied during assembly and come with a full factory warranty, eliminating the hassle and expense of third-party custom painting.

For 2025, three distinctive Factory Custom Paint & Graphics options will be available. Each paint set features an exclusive black tank medallion with chrome accents and a unique mother-of-pearl textured background available in purple or orange.

  • Mystic Shift
    offers a striking color transition from deep gunmetal to purple, blue, and nearly orange, most prominent in direct sunlight around the motorcycle.
  • Firestorm
    reflects a current trend for flame-themed designs. Harley-Davidson first introduced factory flame designs on the 1980 Wide Glide® and has returned to this style several times since then. The Firestorm options incorporate a “ghost fade” effect where the fade color is somewhat brighter than the basecoat. This allows the flames to be highly visible from specific angles while remaining subtle from others. Firestorm variants are available in two popular shades.

    • Midnight Firestorm
      features a dark flame scheme with ghosted flames over a Vivid Black base complemented by a charcoal inner glow.
    • Whiskey Firestorm
      adds a mid-coat for an enhanced orange finish with Ember Sunglo ghost flames and a vibrant orange inner glow.

Harley-Davidson embodies the enduring quest for adventure and the freedom of the open road. Visit

Possible Harley-Davidson Cyberattack May Affect Over 60,000 Motorcyclists – Drag Bike News

Cybercriminals have reportedly targeted Harley-Davidson during the Christmas season, with RedHotCyber (RHC) indicating that over 66,000 customer records might have been exposed.

The attack is reportedly linked to the 888 group, which is said to have shared a sample of the compromised data on an online forum. According to RHC, the data sample reveals customer information that could only have been obtained from the company’s internal IT systems or from a third-party vendor.

Possible Harley-Davidson Cyberattack May Affect Over 60,000 Motorcyclists – Drag Bike News

The 888 group, which is rumored to be behind the breach, is notorious in the cybersecurity realm and has connections to several significant data breaches in the past. In September 2024, they were implicated in a breach involving Oracle, which compromised sensitive information of over 4,000 employees. Additionally, they were associated with a hack that leaked contact information of 33,000 current and former employees of Accenture.

While both of those previous incidents involved employee data, the breach at Harley-Davidson carries heightened significance, primarily due to the nature of the information compromised, which pertains to customers rather than employees, and the scale of the breach.

The specific details of the compromised data have not yet been disclosed. In fact, Harley-Davidson has not confirmed that the data theft has occurred. However, RHC suggests that such an attack could reveal names, addresses, and possibly details related to the customers’ motorcycle purchases. This is particularly concerning as Harley-Davidson operates not just as a motorcycle and apparel manufacturer, but also provides financial services, meaning customers’ sensitive financial information could also be at risk.

The breach may also lead to financial consequences for Harley-Davidson if they are found to have violated data protection regulations.
