Lot 373
1992 Harley-Davidson 1, 200cc XLH Sportster
Registration no. J799 DYA
Frame no. 1HD1CAP16NY116052
Engine no. CAPN116052
First registered in the UK in January 1992, this XLH Sportster has belonged to the lady vendor (the second owner) since its purchase in 1995. In 2000 the Harley was customised, receiving a 'solid' rear wheel, new rear mudguard, Screaming Eagle exhausts, design mirrors, and paintwork by 'Born to be Wild'. The original peanut tank, spoked rear wheel, rear mudguard, air filter assembly, and a set of 'blue dot' indicator covers/ tail light assembly are included in the sale, enabling the machine to be returned to original specification if so desired. The vendor rode around 50, 000 miles on this much loved Sportster up to 2013 when it was SORN'd until 2017. The last six years have seen the Harley used less frequently on account of the vendor's advancing age; it has, however, continued to be garaged and maintained. Reluctantly hanging up her motorcycling gear, our vendor hopes the Sportster will be ridden and loved by the next owner. Also included in the sale are two sets of leather saddlebags, three leather tool rolls, a tall cissy bar, a King & Queen seat, Owner's Manual, and other service manuals. MoT'd to 30th June 2025, the machine comes with a V5C document.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
