The motorcycling world’s biggest and most widely recognised brand, Harley-Davidson has been synonymous with rugged, uncompromising individualism for more than one hundred years. Large-capacity v-twins have been Harley’s stock-in trade since the Edwardian era, their various incarnations progressing through countless technological developments that continue to this day. Harley-Davidson’s big news for the 1990s decade was its introduction of an entirely new frame – the ‘Dyna Glide’ – that debuted on the revived Sturgis ‘low rider’ model in 1991. Computer-aided design work underpinned this new chassis, which featured a square-section backbone, forged rather than stamped frame junctions and two (down from four) rubber mounts for the air-cooled Evolution engine. The second model to benefit from the new Dyna Glide chassis was the limited edition Daytona, announced in 1991 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Harley gatherings at the famous Daytona 200 race meeting. Basically similar to the Sturgis, the Daytona boasted twin front disc brakes and a special pearlescent paint finish – a first for H-D. The Daytona’s unique two-tone colour scheme of gold pearl-glo and indigo blue metallic was complemented by gold-painted spoked alloy wheels and final drive pulley, while the fuel tank and air cleaner featured 50th Anniversary graphics. Deliveries commenced in 1992, with production limited to just 1,700 examples. This Daytona, ‘number 362’, is one of only 17 allocated to Switzerland and was bought new from a Harley-Davidson dealer by the current owner. First registered in 1993, it incorporates various ‘extras’ including leg protector bars and chromium plated components in place of black plastic. The vendor advises us that the machine has been kept as ‘decoration’ in his house (latterly in the garage) and has covered fewer than 500 kilometres from new. It was last serviced three years ago by a Harley-Davidson dealer. Offered with Swiss Carte Grise, this machine represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the rarer and more collectible limited edition Harley-Davidsons of recent years.
