• 1,108 miles from new
• Highly original

The motorcycling world's biggest and most widely recognised brand, Harley-Davidson has been synonymous with rugged, uncompromising individualism for more than one hundred years. Large-capacity v-twins have been Harley's stock-in trade since the Edwardian era, their various incarnations progressing through countless technological developments that continue to this day. Harley-Davidson's big news for the 1990s decade was its introduction of an entirely new frame – the 'Dyna Glide' – that debuted on the revived Sturgis 'low rider' model in 1991. Computer-aided design work underpinned this new chassis, which featured a square-section backbone, forged rather than stamped frame junctions and two (down from four) rubber mounts for the air-cooled Evolution engine.

The second model to benefit from the new Dyna Glide chassis was the limited edition FXDB Daytona, announced in 1991 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the annual Harley gatherings at the famous Daytona 200 race meeting. Basically, similar to the Sturgis, the Daytona boasted twin front disc brakes and a special pearlescent paint finish – a first for H-D. The Daytona's unique two-tone colour scheme of gold pearl-glo and indigo blue metallic was complemented by gold-painted spoked alloy wheels and final drive pulley, while the fuel tank and air cleaner featured 50th Anniversary graphics.

Deliveries commenced in 1992, with production limited to only 1,700 machines. This might sound like a lot, but in Harley-Davidson terms the Daytona was a very limited-edition motorcycle indeed (total production for 1992 was a little under 76,500 machines).

Last run in March 2018, this superb Daytona has covered a mere 1,108 miles from new and is presented in excellent condition. An un-restored and original 'time capsule', it is offered for sale by renowned marque specialists, Warr's of London, Europe's oldest Harley-Davidson dealership. Offered with a V5C document this beautiful machine represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the rarer and more collectible limited-edition Harley-Davidsons of recent years.
