RARE AND DESIRABLE 1925 HARLEY DAVIDSON MODEL “FE”.

Serial Number 25 FE 3565 stamped on left side of engine case. The motorcycle in green paint with red striped fitted with large leather saddle seat and with kickstand. The Model 1925 Harley was a benchmark in the manufacture of this famous motorcycle. This model incorporated “27 big improvements” among which were handlebar design, saddle placement and a streamlined fuel tank. The “Big Twin Engine” was introduced in 1921 as the “D” Model with 74 cubic inch displacement. The “E” Model was introduced in 1925 and had a displacement of 61 cubic inches. The engine had an overhead intake valve and was known as the “Pocket Valve Motor.” The model code of the serial number on this motorcycle, “FE” stands for a 61 cubic inch motor with magneto ignition. There is no other electrical system on the motorcycle; therefore the headlight is powered by acetylene gas. The “F” in the serial number signifies the magneto ignition. This is the first in a long line of Harley Davidson “Big Twin” Models and is the forerunner of the motorcycles that we ride today. Only 1,750 “FE” Models were produced. Appears to be mostly intact. NOTE: Prospective buyers should view this motorcycle personally or have a representative inspect on your behalf as we are not motorcycle experts. SIZE: 42″ h x 94″ l x 30″ w at handlebars. PROVENANCE: Personal collection of Felix J Urioste.
