Numbers Matching All Original Collectors Piece
Original Limited Production Numbers for 1973 and 74' were under 3000, with 74' only producing 929 models.
Very Rare - I've never seen a true, red tanked 74' for sale online. One could argue less than 200 are still in existence.
This was a Barn Find, 2 Owner Bike. I had known the man who owned it last who said it had been sitting covered for 15 years. The motor is free and running well, after a tickle of the carb and 1 or 2 kicks.

This Bike will only appreciate in your collection. in just a few years and existing numbers falling one could predict this bikes worth over 10 thousand dollars. What an investment. One I wish I could keep myself

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!

Tue, 02 Jun 2009

According to the “King of Cool” himself, “The Fonz” (Henry Winkler) never actually rode any motorcycles during the ten year Happy Days television run.  Winkler, never rode a bike in real life either, he has dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to co-ordinate the clutch, throttle and brake.  Instead, the bikes (Harley Davidson’s, Triumph’s, BSA’s were used) were mounted on a piece of wood with wheels to make it look like he was riding, even though I am not shocked, I am a little disappointed… You can watch the interview with Winkler, the famous motorcycle jump “The Fonz” made over 14 trashcans and a bonus “Jump the Shark” video after the jump.
