I saw this as we were passing through the airport in Taiwan last month...
It had a California registration plate issued in 2000 on it.

Interesting (maybe) that the one you found has a different frame if you look at the tubes under the seat...
"Not seen one of these before"....................and hope to never see one again!
Burto.
& the reason they made less than 2000 was they couldnt sell the ugly fuckers...
WRONG FUCKER Dazz...
Wow an original Dyna........ they havn't changed much.
Speaking of ugly & rare, here's the 1983 NOVA prototype (words from 'Heavy Duty' mag):
Remember the Nova? The first water-cooled production Harley-Davidson? Well no, you probably don't, as Harley-Davidson dropped the idea and went with the Evolution motor instead. Otherwise, Harley would have gone the way of Excelsior-Henderson, Indian, Crocker and a long list of now defunct American motorcycle manufacturers. But it was a close call for all of us and you'll find the full fascinating story starting on page 84.
Is there such a book that lists every model HD ever made? I've got one "Harley Davidson Data Book by Rick Connor,anything else?
Alex from Evel cycles had a golf cart in his shop in Port Melbourne, he probably still has it.
Aermacchi M-65, Harley trying to compete in a different market, Did not work. The Italian connection eventually went south. Mind you they did sell the flathead to the Japs before the war and the RIKUO was born. They have found some funny looking RIKUO's in the pacific islands left behind by the Japs during the war.The Topper was an opportunity to break into the surfie market with an american scooter, bloody ugly and unsuccessful. Trying to compete with the Vespas. They also produced golf cars during the AMF years. AMF did all sorts of shit.
