Make no mistake about it, this bike kicks asphalt. It waltzes in with that haughty solo
seat, low-rise handlebar and shorty dual exhaust. Then, its beefy torque toys with
pavement and its quick response throw curves around like rag dolls. And that's when it's just playing around.
In the May 1956 issue of The
Enthusiast, an article appeared
titled "Who is Elvis Presley?" The
young singer from Memphis also
appeared on that issue's cover atop his
1956 KH. The article ended with
Harley-Davidson saying, "Good luck for
your future, Elvis." It must have worked.
