The one I started on never existed according to all the Harley history I have read. It was a Harley Davidson 250cc two stroke street bike. If anyone else can find this baby, please post a shot cause I have never been able to find another. The closest was apparently a takeoff on their 250cc dirt bike racer that someone else did street, and Harley let them put the HDlogo on it.

Like this one? That's a 1975. I had a 74 SX175, then got the SS250. That sucker would run.

Thanks! It looked like this, but flatter and with a bigger tank cause this was in 1967. That's the kicker. Supposedly they didn't start making the SS250 til the mid seventies. I know that's not correct because I had one in 1967! A 'friend' borrowed it later and put gas only in it, so it froze up. That's when I boughtan Iron Head Sportster.

71 Harley Sprint SS350. It was my first bike, and Ionly had it for one year. Mine looked very much like this one, with the custom seat, but my tank and fenders were red.
