In 1960, an unlikely alliance between the Italian Aermacchi concern and Harley-Davidson resulted in the former's lightweight motorcycles being sold in the USA alongside H-D's traditional big v-twins. Marketed as Harley-Davidsons in the USA and as Aermacchi-Harley-Davidsons elsewhere, the first models offered were re-badged versions of Aermacchi's 250cc and 350cc four-stroke horizontal singles. The latter remained in the Harley range until the end of the 1974 model year, falling sales forcing their discontinuation. Aermacchi's two-strokes also formed part of the line-up between 1973 and 1978, at which point H-D's new owners - AMF - sold off their share of the Italian concern to Cagiva.
In recent years there has been an upsurge in interest in these Italian-built Harley singles, some 50,000 of which were sold in the USA during the two firms' 14-year association. One of the smallest models was the Shortster; aimed at younger riders, it first appeared in 65cc form in 1972 before being upgraded with a 90cc engine for 1973 as the X-90. This un-restored X-90 shows a total of 1,778 miles on the odometer and carries a tax disc that expired in December 1992, which is almost certainly when it was last used. Re-commissioning and safety checks will be required before further use. There is no registration document with this Lot, which is sold strictly as viewed.
