An important event in the lengthy development of Harley's perennial v-twin occurred in 1984 with the introduction of the new all-alloy Evolution engine together with a diaphragm clutch, air-assisted shock absorbers, and toothed-belt final drive. By this time Harley-Davidson had freed itself from the American Machine & Foundry group, and one of the more significant developments of the immediately post-AMF era was the introduction of the traditionally styled Softail. The Softail featured a cleverly disguised rear end looking like that of a pre-war 'rigid'-framed Harley but was, in fact, sprung, as its name suggests. Completing the 'vintage' retro look was a girder-type front fork with bottom link and centre spring. This was the look the die-hard Harley traditionalists had been waiting for, and the Springer Softail and its variants would prove an enduring success.

The 2011 Softail Deluxe featured an extra low saddle with pullback handlebar risers atop a rip-snorting 96ci twin-cam v-twin mated to a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. Listing for north of $17,000 with custom paintwork, this never-ridden example definitely went for north of even that figure. Finished in pink raspberry with white pinstriping and a custom painted tank, it was purchased by the seller from Lombardi Harley-Davidson in Staten Island and currently shows 1 (one) mile on the odometer.

Preserved in careful static display since new, it is a rare opportunity to acquire an as-new, showroom fresh Harley-Davidson a decade after it left the factory.
