Little did anyone know that in the coming years the company would birth a historic series of motorcycles that have lit up the arenas of \u0026lt;b\u0026gt;racing, popular culture and even warfare for well over a century\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;To this day, the iconic model names – \u0026lt;b\u0026gt;the Bonneville, the Daytona \u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;– evoke excitement and admiration all over the world.
