Steve’s Harley X90…more eye candy!

Here’s another interesting putt from Steve’s collection…a 1974 Harley X90.    Like the Shortster we featured a few blogs down, this one was also made by Aermacchi and sold under the Harley banner as the X90.   It’s a “badge-engineered” Harley (someone else’s motorcycle with Harley badges), and it was intended to be a grownup mini-bike.

Cool stuff, folks…a cool bike in a cool color, and sold by Harley from only 1973 through 1975 (and just a few bikes were registered as ’75 models).   Fewer than 18,000 of these ever hit the streets in the US.

The X90’s little 90cc two-stroke engine is another work of art.   I love the looks of these post-war two-strokes, and the ones coming from Europe didn’t change much over the years.

And speaking of things happening over the years, one thing that evidently didn’t happen much was this particular puppy getting on the road.   Check out the miles on this clock!

Cool stuff, folks, and we’ll have more photos from Steve’s stable of mini-Harleys coming up here on the blog.

Ride safe, and we’ll see you out on the road!
