It is. Harley bought the Aermacchi works in Varese Italy. The Sprints and the 2 strokes were made there. They kept making the 2 strokes until the mid 70s. I think the Sprint was done a little earlier.

Now that you mention it, I think I do remember hearing something like that.... Long, long, long time ago...Thanks.....I wonder if it would actually be worth anything or if it would even be possible to get parts for it...

The Sprints, especially the ones from the 60s are worth a little. The 2 strokes were never as good as similar vintage Jap. You can find parts for them.
