Harley-Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and survives as one of the world's most culturally significant and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. Arguably the world leader when it comes to building comfortable, torquey, large-capacity cruising motorcycles, Harley-Davidson has been responsible for such popular and enduring models as the FL Electra Glide, which has been in production since the 1940s. The Electra Glide of the ’70s epitomised Harley’s cool and laid-back image with its handlebar mounted screen and full pannier set, and a 74cu in V-twin perfectly suited to long-distance cruising.

This exceptional 1978 FLH-1200 'King of the Highway' was purchased new by the vendor when on holiday in New York. It caught his eye in a dealership window, so he bought it, imported and has kept it on static display in his garage ever since. Never registered for British roads, the Electra Glide was nevertheless started periodically to keep it good health, hence the engine still turns and the gears select. Absolutely original and with a beautiful light patina, the new owner shall have an interesting dilemma – preserve it as a museum piece or recommission and ride it? The original owner’s literature is included in the sale.
