Did harley davidson ever make a dirt bike. Harley made plenty of other bikes in the 1970s that had some dirt focus but these werent race bikes. As one of the fastest Harley-Davidson motorcycles ever made the V-Rod is the motorcycle that opened doors for drag racing and always reminds us of Harleys drag racing past. 1974 Harley 250 motocross bike with unique rear fork suspension.

The 350 CC SX-350 Model in 1971. In Kitchener Ontario the dealership can be found on Kingsway drive their phone number is 519-893-0493. The 65 cc M-65 the 100 cc Baja and the 125 cc Rapido models were all produced by Harley-Davidson until 1972.

That Time Harley-Davidson Made Dirt Bikes It was like putting hamburger on a pizza. Wed like to hope that this issue among others were fixed while in the recall but this is still a bad stain on the bikes legacy. The 250 cc Sprint model cycle that was produced throughout most of the 1960s was essentially reintroduced as the 350 cc SX-350 model in 1971.

But H-Ds dirt diggers didnt hail from Milwaukee or anywhere else in the US. In all only about 1000 of these bikes were ever made. Youve seen this bike before made in England as the BSA Bantam in the USSR as the Minsk others were produced in Poland.

The 70s was an odd time for the world let alone Harley Davidson. In the late 1960s Harley-Davidson was perfectly positioned to compete. We just built the craziest Harley-Davidson with a 2 stroke dirt bike engine.

The XR-750 was designed in response to a 1969 change in AMA Grand National Championship rules that leveled the playing field for makes other than Harley-Davidson allowing Japanese and British motorcycles to outperform the previously dominant Harley-Davidson. The M-65 had a semi-step-through frame and tank. If not in terms of sales or market success at least.
