Welcome to King Rat Chop Shop!
You are looking at an original 1999 Harley Davidson MT500 motorcycle with only 181 miles. This motorcycle is in very good original condition. I am selling this motorcycle on consignment, if you have any questions I will do my best to answer or put you in touch with the owner. This MT500 is number 17, and has a clear Michigan title. The bike runs great, rides great, and is very clean. There is a dime sized rip / hole in the seat. Some rubber components may have some dry rot due to age, such as the tool box bands and shock bushings. There are some normal paint and plastic scratches from storage and transport. Overall this bike is in good clean and almost new shape. The current owner also has bike #18 and is letting this one go. This bike is available for local pick up only in Pemberton, NJ 08068. A non-refundable $500 Paypal Deposit is due within 24 hours of the listing end. Pick up and the remainder of the payment is due in cash at time of pickup within 7 days of the listing end. No shipping offered, we will not ship. Here is some more general information and history on the model provided to me by the owner. 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($1500). 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 The development of this Harley-Davidson MT500 (M-50 military term) began with an Italian company called SWM Motor Works. They used an Austrian engine called the Rotax which came in 350cc and 505cc sizes. After winning several trials championships and two world championships, the company liquidated. In 1984 Armstrong of Bolton, England bought the rights to SWM Motor Works. 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. Please note our positive feedback! GOOD LUCK!

Harley-Davidson Reveals “Twin-Cooled” Engine with Precision Liquid Cooling
Mon, 19 Aug 2013As we gleaned from recently revealed CARB documents, Harley-Davidson has introduced two new liquid cooled engines. The new engines use a combination of air-cooling and precision liquid cooling, similar to what BMW did with its 2013 R1200GS. One version of the engine, dubbed the Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 will be used on the 2014 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited and the Tri-Glide Ultra trike while the CVO Limited will use a 110ci engine known as the Screamin’ Eagle Twin-Cooled Twin Cam 110.
