Property of a deceased's estate
c.1972 Aermacchi Racing Motorcycle
Frame no. AERDAV350N*252925
Engine no. none

Aermacchi remained independent only until 1960, when Harley Davidson purchased a 50 percent share in the motorcycle division. The horizontally-slung engine became a marque trademark, and most of their output had this configuration, which created a low centre of gravity and made for a well-cooled engine unit. This Aermacchi racer is part of a deceased's estate, and has been standing, unused, for an indeterminate number of years. Thought to be a road-model frame and possibly either a 250 or 350 engine, it was purchased by the deceased owner at an unknown date. With its later-type disc brakes and Ceriani-type forks, we know only that it was paraded for the late owner by a friend. It has recently been started and run for a short period, when gears were found to select. A new owner should only need to carry out some re-commissioning and safety checks before returning to the track. There are no documents with this machine.
