🏆 History & Rarity:
The 1977 MX250 was Harley-Davidson’s final and most refined attempt at
producing a competitive motocross machine, developed in partnership with
Aermacchi in Italy.
Production numbers were extremely limited, Less Than 500, and very few
remain — especially in this brand new condition.
Most MX250s were raced hard and lost to time. Finding one that has never
been started is virtually unheard of.
This bike is ideal for:
- Private
collectors
- Motorcycle
museums
- Investment
buyers
- Historic MX
restorers (though it would be a shame to start it!)
