Today’s Harley-Davidson RR250 may be new to most of you. We don’t get the opportunity to feature Harley-Davidson motorcycles on this site too often, unless we’re talking about throbbing pushrod v-twins hiding in quirky Buells. And all the “boat-anchor” jokes aside, Harley has plenty of racing heritage, although mostly outside of what interests most of…
Put the words “racer” and “HD” together in a sentence and visions of dirt tracking will likely come to mind. If road racing jumped into your head, it was likely a smokey failure or a Buell – or both. Truth be told, The Motor Company’s history with sport bikes and racing same has been a…

This wasn’t MV Agusta which eventually was also owned (for a very short time though) by HD. Instead, it was called Aermacchi. Just like MV Agusta, also Aermacchi used to be in the aerospace business. After…
Ring A Ding HD: 1976 Harley Davidson 250RR (Aermacchi) Volley balls and two strokes: the 70’s were an interesting time for AMF Harley Davidson. It is kind of easy to joke and poke fun but at least HD was dabbling in racing/sport bikes which is more than can be said nowadays. Buell barely survived…
For Sale: 1994 Harley Davidson VR1000 Unless I am mistaken, RSBFS readers are pretty much a collection of homologation junkies: RC30, RC45, OW01/02, and the like. Well here is a homologation bike that we see even less frequently than the Japanese variety; a US-born bike that never make it to the top of the big…
