It's fitting that the first 'Classic Superbike' should wear the tank badge of the world's oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer. Since their foundation in 1903, Harley-Davidson have been doing things resolutely the American way - or perhaps 'Milwaukee way' is more apt.
Harley-Davidson, of course, is synonymous with the V-twin layout first adopted in 1909. That first twin, with the now-familiar 45 degree included angle, displaced 61cu.in (999.6cc) and was said to be capable of almost 60mph from its 7bhp. It was a notable success, and the company grew rapidly.
In 1929, the WL was the first of a new generation of side-valve 'flathead' Vee-twins. T '45' denotes the capacity in cubic inches, equivalent to 739cc. In 1930 it was joined by a sister mod the 74-inch VL. Almost on their own, this duo saw Harley through The Depression, for no significant new models were to be developed during six yes of economic strife. Of literally hundreds American bike manufacturers, only Harley and Indian survived, as industry-wide production dropped from 32,000 to 6000 units by 1933. O Harley response was the three-wheeled 'Servi-Car' a cheap delivery and police vehicle powered by the WL engine, which lasted until the mid-'70s. It was only in 1936 again that new models began to emerge from the Harley Stable! Excert from Classic Superbikes from arournd the world.
