Check out the add below. What do you think this thing is worth? Has to be super rare. It would be cool to restore, or hang from a ceiling in a garage.

That's what's left of a Harley(Aermacchi) SX250 which was an enduro with lights and turn signals. Wasn't a good bike to begin with but I'm sure it's worth a few hundred to someone for parts. I doubt the big offers are rolling in.

No joke, in the early and mid-70's there was a guy who raced a rigid Harley 74 tank shifter in the open class at Hopetown (against the Triumph 650 desert sleds and 501 Maicos). First time I saw that in the pits, I had to laugh, but the guy just flew on it, and finished in the top 5 or so in the Expert class in what was then a very competitive class--it had guys like John Hately in it (AMA pro, national TT winner, and early pro motocrosser). He got it up in the air over the whoops and jumps, and while it looked like a hippo dancing, he went really, really fast on it. Just proof that a good rider can ride just about anything surprisingly fast. I think, I am not sure but I think, it broke a rod and went off the road at Pike's Peak, with a tragic ending, sad to say...

A good friend of mine who restores classic supercars etc had an old harly like that. Not sure if it's the exact one. Anyway after a few years he got rid as parts were impossible to get. And believe me he knows loads of people around the world to ask.

Lil' John Hately, hadn't heard that name in a long time, National number 98. Did a bunch of stunt work in the movies and TV.
