Harley-Davidson Sportster description
1970 XLCH 900, not a 1000 like most! Only made in 1969 and 1970. Known as the "Drunk Monkey".( A Magazine asked me to name it for a shoot ) Originally sold from factory as a dirt track racer. Never raced. Was converted into street bike in 1976 and parked until I got it 15 or so years ago from cousin. Looks exactly the same as I got it. Paint is single part lacquer with real gold leafing, so you want to wash this with new born baby care or just a hose.The Ouch band-aid is from a dumbass backing into it 11 or 12 years ago and you can't fix this paint. It's only "original " once. Family members all said that it was too scary to ride. Might have 3,000 or 4,000 miles. I added tach and speedo because NC. said it had to have one for inspection, never hooked up speedo. Was sold from Macon, HD in '70 without front brakes, speedo or tach. Race bike. Shifts on right and brake on left Front end is 1976ish with dual discs. Featured in 2016 Biker Babes Calendar top of page December. Wins shows and trophies, and embarrasses your friends with 107" Big Dogs, at least they shift into 5th or 6th. Motorcycle is reliable and will start as long as there is gas and charged battery. eBay will not upload the VIN because there aren't enough characters and no way to enter "stars". Recent neck surgery has ended my riding. My loss is your gain. Not giving this away, not a $2000 Sporty! Is worth more as just an engine / trans than a whole bike, as Drag racers eat these 900's up! Don't HAVE to sell, just would be sad for it to sit. Will email factory service manual on PDF and include extra, new Interstate battery (Dry) with sale. No trades please. This is a seriously nice bike, please be serious. For sale locally and I reserve the right to end sale early.

Mon, 07 Dec 2009In late November two motorcycle daredevils from opposite sides of the world were fighting to see who would be the first to backflip a Harley Davidson XR1200 motorcycle. Australia’s Kain Saul reached the Promised Land first when he made a successful jump in Sydney on November 27. Harley-Davidson believes Saul’s jump is the first ever successful backflip for any full size street motorcycle.
