Harley-Davidson motorcycles are primarily manufactured and assembled in the United States, with key production facilities located in York, Pennsylvania, and Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The York factory produces various models including the Sportster, Softail, Touring, CVO families, and the LiveWire electric motorcycle, while the Menomonee Falls facility is known for assembling the iconic V-twin engines powering many Harley models
. In addition to these U.S. plants, Harley-Davidson also operates factories in Tomahawk, Wisconsin; Manaus, Brazil; and Rayong, Thailand. The Thailand facility was established more recently as part of the company's response to rising global demand and steel-import costs, leading to the closure of a plant in Kansas in 2019
. Although Harley-Davidson sources parts from various countries including Mexico, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and Japan, motorcycles sold in the U.S. are assembled domestically, maintaining the brand's American-made reputation
. In summary, Harley-Davidson motorcycles are made mainly in:
- York, Pennsylvania (main production and assembly)
- Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin (engine assembly)
- Tomahawk, Wisconsin
- Manaus, Brazil
- Rayong, Thailand (newer production facility)
This blend of U.S. and international manufacturing reflects Harley-Davidson's global strategy while preserving its American heritage in assembly
