Harley-Davidson operates in the Consumer Cyclical sector, specifically within the Recreational Vehicles industry. This means the company's performance is closely tied to the economic cycle; demand for its motorcycles tends to rise when consumer confidence and disposable income are high, and may decline during economic downturns. As a recreational vehicle manufacturer, Harley-Davidson competes with other makers of motorcycles, ATVs, and similar leisure vehicles. The industry is characterized by brand loyalty, discretionary spending, and seasonal sales patterns.

Harley-Davidson is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in 1903, the company has a long history in the American motorcycle industry. It serves customers in the United States and globally, selling its products through a network of independent dealers as well as e-commerce channels. The company's motorcycles, parts, accessories, and apparel are available in many countries around the world. Its global presence allows it to tap into international demand for iconic American motorcycles, though the US remains its primary market.

Harley-Davidson generates revenue through three main segments. The Harley-Davidson Motor Company segment earns money by designing, manufacturing, and selling motorcycles (cruiser, touring, sportbike, etc.), as well as parts, accessories, and apparel.
