Description from the seller
Very rare Harley Davidson WLJ 750cc from 1951. newly delivered to Jakarta: the J in the engine number denotes that.
The Dutch government ordered about 40 WLJ motorcycles from Harley-Davidson for Java (Indonesia), which at that time was a Dutch colonial territory. The motorcycles were used by the local police and high-ranking military officers.
Due to the very low production numbers (only around 30-50 units) and the fact that they were produced only in 1951, the WLJ is one of the rarest Harley models from that era.
The Harley Davidson was bought by a Finn in Indonesia in the 1970s and taken to Finland. There are Finnish papers included.
This motorcycle has not run for a long time and needs a service/maintenance etc. before it can be started again. The engine turns over when you kick it.
A very original motorcycle with only a few reproduction parts.
Delivered for transport without gasoline and battery; these are the carrier’s terms.

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.
