Elvis Presley's Harley Electra Glide, sold for $ 800,000

[Akrapovic]

It was expected to reach one million dollars and become the most expensive motorcycle ever auctioned, but in the end it remained somewhat below, although with a spectacular figure: $ 800,000.

The 1976 Harley-Davidson FLH 1200 Electra Glide belonged to rock star Elvis Presley (the singer's last motorcycle before his premature death) for only three months and to date had been exposed in a museum, inside a showcase.
The motorcycle is in perfect condition, with only 120 miles under its belt and with the exclusive decoration of Elvis, who had owned several motorcycles before, most of them Harley.

Elvis appeared on the cover of the biker magazine ‘The Enthusiast’ in 1956, about the then new Harley-Davidson Sportster.
So, for now, the most expensive motorcycle auctioned to date remains the very rare Vincent Black Lightning of 1951, sold for $ 929,000 in Bonhams.
