Harley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. Harleys epitomise large-capacity cruisers; many have tried to copy them but have never managed to match the Harley image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a simple chassis, the model has formed the basis of many custom specials over the years.
This stunning-looking custom bike, being offered at 'no reserve', evokes the spirit of the classic 1960s Norvin or Egli Vincent cafe racer. It appears to have been put together by Hogbitz, starting with a standard XL883R Sportster that has then had a 1200cc conversion, according to the V5C. The chassis has been modified to café racer specifications by fitting bespoke rear sets, clip-on handlebars, alloy mudguards, single sports seat, separate Smiths-style speedo and tacho, twin disc front brakes, two-into-one exhaust with a Gold Star replica silencer and all topped-off with a curvaceous petrol tank sporting a cheeky 'HRD'-style tank logo. This bike really stands out from the crowd and will be a talking point at any bike gathering. It's supplied with some old MOT paperwork and a current V5C.
