Harley-Davidson MT500 description
The motorcycle is in perfect working condition. Every switch, button and lights all work. Been kept in my warehouse for several years now. Only taken out for short rides.
As one can see it has all the accessories. The gun case does have a scratch on it (visible from the pic). In the process of a divorce, otherwise i wouldn't be selling it. Shipping: The buyer is responsible for shipping. If it is within 200 miles I can transport the bike for a fee (to be determined). Thank you and don't hesitate to ask any questions. Harley Davidson produced 355 U.S. model MT 500’s in 1999 and only 115 U.S. model MT 500’s in 2000. The 1999 and 2000 MT500’s were sold to a few select Harley-Davidson dealers. Those dealers were offered two bikes, but only a few bought the bikes. Most did not take advantage because of the economy at that time. These bikes sold for $10,000 or $11,500 off the showroom floor with only one available option, Panniers and a Gun case scabbard. The dealers had the option of selling the bikes; some were raffled (by dealers) for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, but most of them went to Museums or collectors. Thus, this bike is one of the lowest production and rarest motorcycles ever made by Harley-Davidson. It is still possible to find a Harley-Davidson MT350 or MT500 however, most of the MT350’s and MT500’s are in England, some are in Canada and only a few are in the USA. There are some in pristine condition (museum and private collections) but most of them have been well used and unfortunately, customized with paint, chrome or other cosmetic changes. There are also some mid to late 1980’s tagged with the Armstrong name that are less valuable because they are pre Harley-Davidson. Mine is pristine and freshly out of the manufacturers’ crate. HISTORY They developed a military version of the motorcycle for use in the Falklands for the British Army, for desert use by the ******ian Army, and for the Canadian Army to use in mountainous areas. Armstrong made this motorcycle from 1985 to 1989. In 1989 Harley-Davidson bought Armstrong primarily for the rights to the Rotax engine to use for their dirt-track racing teams. These motorcycles are very durable and can stand extreme desert temperatures, rocky terrain and harsh environments. They can even stand “torrents of fording water” as the operation manual states. However, they proved not good for military use because of two problems. One, the heat from the engine was easily detected by enemy forces using infrared scopes. They tried blocking the radiation by adding front Panniers, (Storage case) but to no avail. The other problem was the use of gasoline for the bikes instead of diesel which was used primarily by the military. |
