Although retaining all their traditional characteristics, the Harley-Davidsons of the 1970s began to incorporate some of the technological developments that had become accepted as the norm on European and Japanese machines. Disc brakes and electronic ignition became commonplace and by the decade's end the convenience of electric starting had been extended to the Sportster, the kick-starter becoming an option.
This red and white Sportster is a sporty and well optioned example of Harley's more lithe model. Nicely preserved and appearing largely unrestored, this saddle bagged example has disc brakes and an electric starter. Likely an export model as denoted by its metric KPH speedometer, it currently shows 14,800km on the ticker. Fresh from several years of static display, mechanical recommissioning is recommended before active use.
