In 1947 Harley-Davidson released a 125-cc, two-stroke motorcycle called the S-125. It was based on the German DKW RT125 and gained popularity quickly, selling 10,000 units in the first seven months of production. Over the years Harley-Davidson made improvements and variations of this two-stroke platform and in 1962 released the Scat.
The Scat was a scrambler-style, dual-purpose motorcycle with a high-mounted front fender, high exhaust, high handlebars, and softer suspension for improved off-road use. These two-stroke Harley-Davidsons have become highly collectible and look great alongside a full-sized Harley-Davidson.
This example has benefited from a restoration and displays 4,000 miles on the odometer as of cataloguing time. This 1965 Harley-Davidson Scat is a great little two-stroke for touring and exploring the trails.
