Did you know Harley-Davidson once produced a two-stroke?

When most people think of Harley-Davidson, they picture V-twins, chrome and the unmistakable Harley sound.

But during the 1960s and 1970s, Harley-Davidson sold a range of smaller two-stroke motorcycles.

Many of these bikes were based on motorcycles produced by the Italian manufacturer Aermacchi, which Harley-Davidson owned at the time.

The result was a range of lightweight Harley-Davidsons that looked very different from the big V-twins most people associate with the brand today.

Have you ever seen or owned one of Harley-Davidson's two-stroke models?
