Its stamped into their engine covers..Indian 1901
I guess now that Norton is again shipping Nortons they can claim they are older than Harley as well since Norton made their first motorcycle in 1902.
Since Royal Enfield also started producing motorcycles in 1901 I guess that bumps Harley back to 4 th.
Now if someone would just produce another bike under the name Daimler-Maybach the THEY could lay claim to being the oldest motorcycle company
Or Hildebrand and wolfmueller ( worlds first production motorcycle)
Or Roper if you consider a steam powered 2 wheeler a motorcycle
