Default Very limited edition Sporty! Please somebody buy this so that I'm not tempted!

If, the paint on this is original this guy doesn't know what he's got! I do cause I had one, This is actually a limited edition Non AMF that was sold immediatley after the buyout and BEFORE the 1982 non AMF bike line was launched. You see "limited" this and limited that every day but check out the pics and tell me the last time you saw an Ironhead non XR sporty with that paint scheme, cause it was only done on that bike!

If it was summer, I'd be riding that home for the buy it now price. A lot less sporty than that gets more here. Wyoming to Minnysota on a bike just doesn't work for me this time of year (it's around 7 outside right now, and the roads are white with dried salt).

i think the condition of the paint is too good to be original , but it's a nice looking bike and the price is right

I thought about running the VIN. I It is an ironhead and not an EVO and I think it was actually VIN'd as an 82 because it was produced after the buyout. I'm not sure if 600 or a 1000 were made but I paid $4650 out the door with a oil cooler, highway pegs and dipstick thermo. I had the bill of sale in my photo album but it's not there now. It would have more info on it cause they wrote it up in detail times being what they were for Harley.
