1969 Aermacchi-Harley Davidson ERS
Estimated at £8,000 - £9,000
Lot details
Registration No: N/A
Frame No: ERS1062
Engine No: ERS1062
cc: 350
MOT Expiry Date: N/A
The ERS 350cc and its smaller sibling the CRS 250 were limited production flat track variants of the illustrious Aermacchi horizontal overhead valve single cylinder range. The introduction of the ERS in 1968 provided riders loyal to the Harley Davidson marque with a competitive machine for use on shorter tracks and by association assisted sales of the road going Sprint models. Production continued until 1972 with a total of approximately 500 being built during the four years.
The engine was, with the exception of the close ratio, four speed transmission, virtually the same as the Ala d'Oro road racer and was fitted with a Dell'Orto SSI carburettor and a Bendix magneto. The CRS and ERS were both fitted with 35mm Ceriani competition forks as standard.
The limited production and the harsh environment in which the model competed resulted in very few examples surviving with original machines being highly sought after today. The example offered is presented in original, unrestored condition.
