HARLEY-DAVIDSONLow Rider 1998 - 1999

　　Founded in 1903 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, Harley-Davidson was one of two major American motorcycle manufacturers that went through the Great Depression alongside Indian Motorcycles.

　　Due to the Great Depression, Harley-Davidson's sales dropped from 21,000 units in 1929 all the way down to 3,703 in 1933. However, the manufacturer introduced a new lineup for 1934 with a flathead engine and Art Deco design.

　　To survive, Harley-Davidson started to think outside the box. It manufactured industrial powerplants based on its bike engines and designed a three-wheeled delivery motorcycle, Servi-Car, that remained in production until 1973.

　　The Harley-Davidson range has grown over the years to include several families with different styling and characteristics, such as Touring, Softail, Dyna, Sportster, VRSC, VRXSE, Street, and LiveWire.

　　In 1998, the American motorcycle maker launched the Harley-Davidson FXDL Dyna Low Rider, a classic American machine with distinctive styling and powerful performance that has been around since 1977.

　　The 1998 Low Ride came equipped with standard fittings, such as a raked-out fork on the front, a round headlight with a chromed housing, a teardrop-style fuel tank, a dual seat with a low riding position, and a two-into-two exhaust system that delivered a chopper note.

　　The 1998 Harley-Davidson Low Rider took its muscles from a 1,337cc air-cooled V-twin engine with a single 40 mm Keihin carburetor in charge with fuelling, boasting 58 hp at 4,900 rpm and 86 Nm (64 lb-ft) torque at 2,400 rpm.
