Default Harley Sportster Bicycle?

Ever heard of/seen one of these bicycles? I never, till this morning. Local ad had one for $600, got looking online and saw another for $65... lol?


Kijijji $600

Random site $65

Memory-Lane has a black one for $400, under "Dare to be Different" ("OFFICIALLY LICENSED ITEM, MADE SOMETIME IN THE MID 80’S. HAS A DUMMY MOTOR, WHICH MAKES REAL MOTOR SOUNDS")




What do you think? Would it be too corny to hide an engine in all the plastic? Or Retro-Cool?

I think that one day they will be very collectible, if they are not already, and it might not be a wise choice to axe one to modify it.
but that's just my opinion...

ah yea, didn't think about the collect-ability aspect, true true, of a mint one for sure. Well, if anyone comes across one in a rough state for cheap... we might see a build one day
