24 hp, 74.66 cu. in. F-head V-twin engine, and three-speed transmission.
First introduced in 1909, the Harley-Davidson V-twin would remain in production, with engineering updates, for the next two decades. In 1925, a restyled version of the Harley was introduced, which incorporated streamlining, interestingly a feature that would not be seen on motor cars for several more years, as well as a new, lower frame and smaller diameter wheels, which greatly improved handling. When new, the Harley-Davidson Model JD cost $335 and had a production of 9,544 examples.
This example is equipped with a sidecar and presents as an older restoration in very good condition. It has been in the current ownership for six years and was owned by another collector for many years before that, thus, having been out of the public eye for quite a long time. It is equipped with a pair of color-matching helmets and has very good upholstery and paint.
