2000 Harley-Davidson MT500

Ringle, Wisconsin

The Harley-Davidson MT500 is a bit of an unusual motorcycle. It's thought that just 500 were ever made, and it's not known how many have survived in original condition.The MT500 is powered by a 500cc Rotax single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with 4 valves, 5 gears, a left side kickstart and electric start. It's a mechanically simple motorcycle designed explicitly for military use - though it's broad adoption never took place due to many militaries only wanting diesel-powered vehicles for matters of logistical simplicity.The basic design started in Italy, before finding its way to Britain, being put into production with the Armstrong-CCM company in 1984. The model saw limited military use in Britain, Jordan, and Canada until it was phased out in 2000.Harley-Davidson isn't a stranger to badge-engineering motorcycles, and if you look back over the long arc of motorcycle history there are very few established marques that haven't at least dabbled with rebranding bikes. The reason Harley bought the MT500 stateside was the hope of acquiring a military contract with the richest armed forces on earth. Sadly it never came to be, largely because of the aforementioned diesel-only guidelines.The majority of the Harley-Davidson MT500s that were built, were built to the same specifications. There's a waterproof rifle case on the rear right side for an M16 or similar, and the case is designed in such a way that it can take both scoped and unscoped weapons.All-original MT500s only rarely come up for sale, possibly because collectors are sitting on them in anticipation of a value increase as they edge closer to vintage territory.

2000 Harley Davidson MT500 Auction, serious bidders only please! Only 500 made. NEVER plated NOR streeted. Title in hand in Louisville, KY -- Owner purchased, and placed in his garage since purchased. Has 35 actual miles, from the dealer only. Paid $14k for the bike and has set in air temp controlled storage since. About the bike: The U.S. MT500 is one of the rarest and lowest production motorcycles ever made by Harley-Davidson. The 1999 and 2000 MT500's were sold to a few select Harley-Davidson dealers. Those dealers were offered two bikes, but only a few bought the bikes. Most did not take advantage because of the economy at that time. These bikes sold for $10,000 or $11,500 off the showroom floor with only one available option, Panniers and a Gun case scabbard. The dealers had the option of selling the bikes; some were raffled (by dealers) for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, but most of them went to Museums or collectors. Thus, this bike is one of the lowest production and rarest motorcycles ever made by Harley-Davidson. It is still possible to find a Harley-Davidson MT350 or MT500 however, most of the MT350's and MT500's are in England, some are in Canada and only a few are in the USA. There are some in pristine condition (museum and private collections) but most of them have been well used and unfortunately, customized with paint, chrome or other cosmetic changes. There are also some mid to late 1980's tagged with the Armstrong name that are less valuable because they are pre Harley-Davidson. This bike is pristine and freshly out of the manufacturers' crate. HISTORYThe development of this Harley-Davidson MT500 (M-50 military term) began with an Italian company called SWM Motor Works. They used an Austrian engine called the Rotax which came in 350cc and 505cc sizes. After winning several trials championships and two world championships, the company liquidated. In 1984 Armstrong of Bolton, England bought the rights to SWM Motor Works.They developed a military version of the motorcycle for use in the Falklands for the British Army, for desert use by the ******ian Army, and for the Canadian Army to use in mountainous areas.Armstrong made this motorcycle from 1985 to 1989.In 1989 Harley-Davidson bought Armstrong primarily for the rights to the Rotax engine to use for their dirt-track racing teams.These motorcycles are very durable and can stand extreme desert temperatures, rocky terrain and harsh environments. They can even stand "torrents of fording water" as the operation manual states. However, they proved not good for military use because of two problems. One, the heat from the engine was easily detected by enemy forces using infrared scopes. They tried blocking the radiation by adding front Panniers, (Storage case) but to no avail. The other problem was the use of gasoline for the bikes instead of diesel which was used primarily by the military. $500 deposit, balance due in 7 days with cash at pickup or bank wire and we can ship. 812-998-2090 812-630-5924Cardinal Selling Services

HISTORY Do not compare the rare U.S. MT500s with non U.S. models. Only 1999 & 2000s are U.S In England, Armstrong Motorcycles produced; MTs from 1983 to 1992. The MT350s all went to the British Army and the few MT500s went to Jordan and the Canadian Militarys. In 1993 Harley-Davidson bought the Armstrong Motorcycles for the right to use the Rotax engines in some of their dirt track racers. In 1995 Harley-Davidson produced about 20 U.S. MT500s for the U.S. market. (about 3500 from 95 to 2000 although most were not U.S. bikes) Some were made for the U.S. Military. One was kept by Harley- Davidson and now displayed at the Harley-Davidson Museum. They made 278 U.S. MT500s in 1999s and less U.S. MT500s in 2000. Thus making the U.S. MT500s one of the rarest and lowest production motorcycles ever made by Harley-Davidson in this Country for the past 100 years. The U.S. Military had 15 new ones left that they did not use for testing. On Friday July 21, 2000 the Military put an ad in the Stars & Stripes newspaper for these remaining bikes. They had such a large response they had to have a raffle for the bikes. Reliable sources have only found about 50, 1999s and about 25, 2000s. Several non-U.S. bikes and a very very few 1995 to 97 U.S. bikes. Most of these bikes are in dealerships museums, or in a private collector museum. Parts are readily available from ForceMotorcycles or KLMotorsport of Great Britten. ( They purchased the entire MT parts inventory from Harley-Davidson. I have not had any mechanical issues with this motorcycle nor do I foresee any mechanical $10,995.00
