I'll bite.... Here are my 5
a. 1917 Model J Military Use - 1st motorized cavalry bike - Put HD squarely on the map and kept them there
b. 1958 Duo Glide - 1st bike with full and proper suspension
c. 1965 Electraglide - Agree on this one
d. 1971 Superglide - 1st factory 'custom'
e. 1984 Softail - Beginning of the new era
f. Honorable mention - 2009 Triglide - Making riding assessable to many who would of had to give it up.

1- WLA - OK they used an actual WLA
2- 1936 Knucklehead, but use a picture of a 1947
3- 1957 Sportster, not sure if that is a later year or a customized bike, not a stock '57
4- 1965 Electra Glide, should be a Panhead instead they use a picture of a 1969 Shovelhead Electra Glide
5- 1984 Softail, should be first year frame 4 speed Evo model, but lets just use a factory photo of an early 2000's Softail Standard Twin Cam
Google search is way too easy to not have the right images to go with the article. Rant over.
