Yes.........the Topper. An actual American made small Harley prior to the Italian Harleys like the Sprint and all the other little models of the 70's era.

So can you ride the Topper and be cool still?

I have a friend/coworker that rides a vespa (he lives in SF and can ditch me in traffic easy). He wants a harley, but its not practical for in the city.

Would it be an upgrade or a lateral move to go to it?

My '72 HD golf car kinda sorta has an automatic. Can't remember what they called it. The drive pulleys will get narrower & wider to make the different speeds.

Along with the topper, you could get an autoshifter in the motorhome (think it was called Holliday Traveler) HD used to make.
