🏆 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!)
