Harley-Davidson Touring description

1975 Harley Davidson FLH, 1200cc, 74 cubic inch.  The second owner purchased this motorcycle in 1994.  He rode the motorcycle, painted it, added chrome parts, and stored the motorcycle in his family room for over 20 years.  He commented that he purchased the bike from the original owner.  Apparently, the original owner fell off of the bike within the first few hundred miles and then stored the bike until 1994.  I purchased the bike in August of 2015 from the second owner.  The second owner believes the mileage to be original.

I rode the bike about 3 miles.  The engine has good torque, sounds good, and runs smooth.  As seen in the pictures, most of the parts are original.  In the case that this is a true low mile bike, I do not want to tick the odometer past the 1,000 mile mark, and I do not have proper storage for such a nice motorcycle.  As seen in the pictures, this is a super clean and nicely detailed motorcycle.  This motorcycle is a perfect candidate to return to factory FLH form and specifications.  Some of the original parts have been exchanged with chrome parts.

Parts like the brake calipers and hoses, frame, Bendix carburetor, air filter housing, nose cone, gas tanks, handle bars, fenders, inner and outer primary, lights, nacelle, wheels, dashboard, wiring, rectifier, etc. are original.  There aren't many Shovelheads on the road still being charged by the original rectifier.  Although the solo seat is not original, the condition of it is excellent.  The seat T bushings and pin are new.  The battery and rear master cylinder are less than 1 year old.

Please use the zoom-in function on the engine pictures.  In my experience, it looks like the engine and transmission have never been apart.  Cases, cylinders, cylinder heads, rocker boxes, etc. look untouched.

This is a numbers matching motorcycle which comes with a clear Illinois title.  It is a used motorcycle.  No test drives.

Currently, I am in Germany and can only be contacted by email.  I return to the states on July 2nd.  If you would like to see the motorcycle in the meanwhile, this possibly could be arranged.

Email questions or call 630 440 9825 (Kurt).

Vespa goes back to the future

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

IT'S been a while coming, but the gorgeous Vespa 946 - EICMA 2012's Best of Show - has finally introduced something to the two-wheeled world that our four-wheeled counterparts have had for a while.  I call this 'reverse retro-futurism' - the art of borrowing lines from models past and imbuing them with a sleek sense of future direction (as opposed to retro-futurism, the pre-1960s design trend of depicting the technology of the future. The term 'decopunk' may come close, but feel free to tell me if there's a more exact term.) It's what the New Mini and the New Beetle (both 1997 and 2012 versions) have done so well, and so successfully: building an all-new model as a tribute to a classic, something that's modern yet already timeless, with a widely-appreciated, inclusive aesthetic (and here we eliminate the Plymouth PT Cruiser from the conversation). The biking world is great at retro, indeed thrives on it, but not so good at adding in a taste of the 21st century.

What We Know About the 2023 Harley-Davidson X350 and X350RA

Mon, 23 Jan 2023

Streetbike for Asia and a Riding Academy bike for the US Harley-Davidson held its big 120th anniversary reveal last week, and for the most part, the announcement included the bikes we expected, such as the Nightster Special, and the return of the Breakout with a Milwaukee-Eight 117ci engine. What we also expected to come for 2023 but was not included in the announcement were the X350 and X350RA. Still, despite not being part of the big Jan.

Harley-Davidson announced a number of updates to its touring models, a cumulative result of a product development effort the company dubs Project Rushmore. The enhancements cover several areas, addressing performance, comfort, style and infotainment needs, and will be implemented across eight 2014 Harley-Davidson Touring models: the Road King, Street Glide, Street Glide Special, Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Electra Glide Ultra Limited, the Tri-Glide Ultra Classic trike and the CVO Road King and CVO Limited. “Project RUSHMORE has been touched by thousands of people, most of them being our customers and our employees,” says Scott Habegger, Harley-Davidson Director of Motorcycle Planning.
