[[Harley]] debuted the '''Model K''' in 1952—a sporting [[motorcycle]] using a 45-cubic-inch (750cc) side-valve [[V-twin]] that had more in common with the pre-war era than the 1950s. It was introduced to replace the aging [[Harley-Davidson WL|WL]], and featured a good many "firsts" for Harley.  Not counting the small [[Harley-Davidson S-125|S-125]], which was actually a [[DKW]] of Germany design, the K introduced unit construction and was the first of its street machines to feature rear suspension.  A race version of the bike won Daytona in 1953, but the streetbike was down on power compared to the 500cc [[OHV]] [[:Category:English motorcycles|British bikes]] of the day.

In 1954 the K series was upgraded to become the [[Harley-Davidson KH|KH series]].
