I took these photo’s of this 1965 Harley Davidson M50 a few months ago. Although I’m not really a fan of the big Hogs, the little Aermacchi bikes that they sold in the 1960s and early 1970s are among my favorite motorcycles of all time.
Looking cool in orange & black
This particular example is mildly resto-modded in a very tasteful fashion that gives a very appealing look but without destroying it’s classic looks and value.
It was displayed with a sample of the original advertising from 1965. I miss the days when motorcycles were sold by specification instead of “feelings” & “lifestyle.”
The Harley Davidson M50 looks good from any angle.
Seeing one of these things always makes me smile and if I ever get the chance I’ll add one to my collection.

Powered by a 50cc two stroke engine that required you to mix your own gas and oil, the M50 was good for about 45 miles per hour and 180 miles per gallon.
