This very rare and beautiful 1957 Harley Davidson Motorcycle is being sold with a BILL OF SALE only. However, title can be applied forthis vehicle which takes about 30 days in most states.

Most eBayer's who follow my auctions know that I like rare and unusual automobiles and this wonderfully preserved 1957 Harley Davidson Hummer Motorcycle is no exception. While Harley's of this model and vintage certainly are obtainable, ou very rarely find one that is gently used, ostly intact and not restored. This nearly 60 year old Harley Davidson has been stored in a heated facility and "unridden" and enjoyed as a static display since the early 1970's and it clearly shows. This is a perfect candidate for a straightforward and uncomplicated restoration which would enhance the value of this bike considerably! The bike is currently on display in a sporting goods store in Andalusia, labama (36421).
A recent trip to Las Vegas' MGM GRAND CASINO/HOTEL Signature Shops has on display in one of their upscale clothing stores an exact mildly restored late 1950's Harley Davidson Hummer in the front window with a price tag of $17,500 and while I don't believe it is their desire to sell their showcase window center piece, do believe that eventually an international customer enamored with the iconic American marque Harley Davidson would not blink an eye to acquire that wonderfully aesthetic and rare junior vintage motorcycle for a deserving son or daughter.

The sheet metal appears to have been painted a long time ago (at least 40 years ago), ut it is still in good shape. I can't say for sure that every original bolt or nut is there,but this is an exceptional and simple restoration prospect. The frame looks to be in excellent, riginal condition, ut please look over all photos to satisfy yourself as I am not overly familiar with vintage motorcycles.
As mentioned earlier in my listing, he bike has been stored inside for over 40 years, nd it was running when placed in storage by the former owner. Nothing has changed since early 1970's, nd it has been sitting for over 40 years (untouched photos with dust and grease included) so I am selling it "as is where is" (uncleaned even) and is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic, eautifully preserved vintage Harley Davidson junior motorcycle. I will work to assist buyer with all reasonable requests concerning crating at my actual cost to be paid by the buyer in advance. All arrangements for pick-up, elivery, nd insurance during transit will be arranged by the buyer and paid for by the buyer. The1957 Harley Davidson Hummer in this auction will be sold with a Bill of Sale only.

TheModel 125[9]orS-125[6][10]was introduced by Harley-Davidson in 1947 as a 1948 model.[10]The 125cc two-stroke engine produced three horsepower, hich was sent through a three-speed foot-shift transmission.[8]The front suspension used girder forks suspended by large rubber bands.

Ten thousand Model S-125s were sold during the first seven months of 1947.[8][6]Despite largely being ignored by dealers, he 125 gained a large following among young riders, any of whom would go on to ride larger motorcycles.[7]

The rubber-band front suspension was replaced in 1951 by a telescopic fork referred to as "Tele-Glide".[1][8]

Model 165 (1953–1959)[edit]

TheModel 165replaced the S-125 in 1953. The engine was increased in size to 165 cc.
