1997 Harley Davidson MT 350. Registration number not registered, British Army number GL33AA. Frame number 1HD6RLT15VY000248. Engine number 385574.
Sold with the Army service history, original exhaust, various new parts, carb rebuild kit, front pannier carrier, keys.
The MT350 motorcycle was built in the USA starting in 1993 and was derived from the earlier Armstrong MT500 built for the British army. In 1984 Armstrong-CCM then bought the rights to the Rotax engined XN Tornado from the Milan based SWM company after they had gone into liquidation. From this they developed the Armstrong MT500 and then produced about 3,500 of the bikes for the British Army between 1984 and 1987. In 1987, after the MT500 had been adopted as the standard motorcycle for NATO, Armstrong sold the rights to Harley Davidson who took over production in the United States where they produced the Harley Davidson badged MT350 version of the motorcycle. The British Army began buying this version in 1993.
The MT350 uses an electric start version of the Austrian built Rotax 348cc single cylinder, 4-valve overhead camshaft engine producing 30 bhp and 29 Nm of torque. Although slightly heavy at 162 kg for off-road use, it is a robust motorbike and is fitted with good quality Marzocchi front forks and Ohlin rear shock absorbers.
This example was dispatched to the 108 Field Squadron (Welsh) (Militia), a sub-unit of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia), a senior Army Reserve regiment of the British Army. It is as it was when it left the Army in 2023, the clutch has been overhauled, as had has the carb, and a sports exhaust has been added. It has been running recently.
