AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

2000 Customised Harley Davidson Sportster

This 2000 Harley Davidson Sportster was modified by the local Harley Davidson Main Dealership in the style of a 1950s British motorbike. The bike is registered in Italy as a 1200cc 2 seater but now has an 883 engine fitted and a single seat. The engine had done 9000 km when the bike was rebuilt in 2016 and the bike has done less than 2600 km since then. This is a carburettor model, in keeping with its age.

Mechanically the bike is perfect, starts at the first attempt, the engine runs sweet and even with plenty of acceleration. There is some surface rust on the chrome in various places, see the photos, but nothing to affect the operation of the bike. The tyres show signs of ageing with some fine cracks to the sidewall.

The frame was modified by chopping the under seat supports. These supports are included with the sale in case a future owner would wish to return the bike to standard or back to a 2 seater. A box of spares is also included with a new set of rear shock absorbers, which makes it slightly higher at the rear, and various other items not used in the build. Current seat height is about 65cm.

For Italian buyers, the transfer of ownership (passaggio di proprieta') is at their expense.

For UK buyers, the bike is still registered in UK with the export marker not set so could, presumably, be easily imported or transported to UK and registered. However, this would be at the buyers risk and expense. There is a copy of the V5 but the original was handed over to the Italian Authorities when the bike was registered in Italy.

For all overseas buyers, including UK, the bike will be deregistered for export from Italy at no expense to the buyer.

Body and paint

• Paintwork condition - Excellent, some chipping on the rear mudguard
• Chrome condition - Corrosion present in some areas such as the risers, headlight rim, fork springs, front wheel
• Condition of seat - Excellent, no damage
• Condition of footrest and handlebar rubbers - excellent
• Condition of tank - very good paint and overall condition

Technical condition

• Tyres show signs of age, brakes are perfect, belt drive in very good condition
• Engine is perfect, clutch and gearbox work extremely well, very smooth with no oil leaks
• The bike was serviced in 2025
• Starts first time with 2 turns of the accelerator, rides great, stops well, gears precise, a pleasure to use
• Electricals - all lights are working
• Revisione, inspection, MOT until 06/2027

Documentation

• See photo of Italian libretto, copy of old UK V5, recepit from customisation carried out by local HD Main Dealer

The motorbike is to be collected from the province of Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
