SUMMARY
The X90 two-stroke mini bike was built between 1973 and 1975 and less than 1,600 units were sold in total, meaning they are now rare. In mostly original and unrestored condition, this example has covered just 1,249 miles from new.
DESCRIPTION
- Built by Aermacchi under the Harley Davidson brand, the X90 replaced the earlier Shortster (MC-65) which was sold in 1972 only
- The X90 was built between 1973 and 1975 and less than 1,600 units were sold in total, meaning they are now rare
- One of the innovations on the X-90, compared to its predecessor, was the fold-down handlebar which made it easier to transport
- It may look very similar to the Shortster but it's a completely different bike with a different frame, front fork, rear fork, petrol tank, engine and exhaust
- This bike is confirmed running and has covered just 1,249 miles from new
- In mostly original condition and unrestored, so some recommissioning may be required before use
- Supplied with a current V5, previous sales receipt and MOT exemption certificate
