By 1920, HD was the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer – with dealerships in 67 countries. One of their featured bikes at the time was the 1000cc Harley-Davidson JD, which became the first motorcycle to ever win a race with an average speed of over 100 mph in 1921, on a board track in Fresno, California.
1921 was when Harley introduced the 74 cubic inch V-Twin for the up-spec JD model, which was frequently optioned out with a sidecar.
The engine was rated at 18 horsepower, which was pushed through a three-speed transmission.
This example is VIN: 21JD9416. The bike was titled by the owner in 1980.
There is no odometer, true mileage is unknown.
