Harley 250 Sprint

Bargain hunters, this is your vintage Harley lightweight street bike dream come true! According to “Rider Magazine” (”Motorcycling at its best”), “Sprints were doing quite well in AMA racing, road, dirt and scrambles,” in their day. Here’s its secret: it was an Italian design adapted for American use, and the Italians do know something about motoring. (Think Ducati and MV Agusta for two wheels, Ferrari for four.) Roller and ball bearings for the crankshaft echoed the classic Porsche engineering, just to add some internal class and efficiency. Cycle Magazine said about the Harley Sprint, “… we will simply say that it has brakes and handling that are beyond reproach, and that it feels … like no amount of flogging will hurt it.”
