Hello.. my dad owns a Harley davidson 2-stroke.. its quite old and we are wondering how much it is worth. on the frame i believe it says 53 in the beginning of the vin number, so im guessing its a 1953 50th aniversery model.. It also says 47 on the frame seperate from the vin number.. I was kind of guessing that meant it was the 47th bike of that model made in 1953... Can some one correct me if i am wrong? Also, what year/etc did harley-davidson make a 2-stroke?

Harley had two ranges of 2-stroke, the post WW2 US built ones, based on a DKW, then Italian made ones when they bought Aermacchi. If you can post a photo on the internet and give us a link to it, or find an internet photo like yours, we can help a bit more.
