1973 Harley-Davidson Sportster

The 1973 Harley-Davidson Sportster is an iconic "Ironhead" V-twin classic, renowned for its raw mechanical character and unmistakable exhaust note. Displacing 998~cc, it produced 61 horsepower and featured a right-side gear shifter. Today, these models are highly sought-after collector's items.
Harley-Davidson produced approximately 20,000 Sportsters in 1973. Many were chopped, modified, or neglected over the decades, making original, matching-numbers survivors increasingly rare.
