Up for sale is a 1972 AMF Harley-Davidson MC65 Shortster minibike made by Aermacchi.

This is a project bike.  It will need gone through and will need restoration on most, if not all of it.    

It is mostly complete.  It is for sure missing the left side shifter mechanism.  It is probably missing other parts, but you be the judge.

Bike has been in storage for many years.  Engine kicks over with compression.  The kick starter has a weak spring or other issues as you have to help the kick starter return to its original position.  I checked for spark and could not get any.  Not sure what the issue is.  Transmission shifts through the gears like it should.  

The tank looks to be in solid shape as far as lack of rust is concerned.  It does have dents as shown.  The front fender will need straightened as you can see in the front.  The seat has been taped and will need recovered.

Bike rolls well.  Tires will need replaced.  

Serial number on the neck is 5C16914H2.  Bike has a build date of 3/72.

Expect everything will need gone through on this bike.  It is a project, so don't think it's something it is not.  
It will come with a bill of sale.  I can get a title if that is needed, but there will be an additional cost.

Cool Shortster project.


Payment is due at time of purchase.  

I can store for 30 days for free.  If more time is needed, that can be discussed.  I can work with a shipper.

I don't mind selling to overseas buyers, but you need to do the legwork.  Again, I can work with a shipper.
