THE LAST HARLEY CLOSE TO USD 1,000,000
The last motorcycle that Elvis Presley had before he died is sold, a Harley-Davidson that would be close to a million dollars.
Being the ‘King of Rock’n’roll‘ is a nickname that only belongs to one person: Elvis Presley. His figure has been, is and will be a legend in the world of music, and of course, such a figure had to be accompanied by a good motorcycle.
And which one can hit the King of Rock’n’Roll more?: a Harley-Davidson.
And the last one you bought is for sale, but you’ll have to shell out a few bills, since the last time it was auctioned came to USD 800,000.
In 1976 Elvis bought his last motorcycle.

A Harley-Davidson FLH Electra-Glide from the same year. It looked in a beautiful color, blue with black finishes, exclusively commissioned by Presley.
They took her to her home in Graceland.
He couldn’t enjoy it as much as he wanted, and he sold it just before he died. Until then he only did about 2,000 kilometers.
The odometer reads 1,261 miles, and naturally the bike is in immaculate condition. One of the 750 special models that Harley-Davidson manufactured in the United States for the 200th Anniversary, which makes it an exclusive piece.
Elvis sold it just three months before he died to a Harley-Davidson dealer, later passing into the hands of a New Jersey hotel owner.
It stayed in one show but then passed through a few more hands, before ending up in another museum, the Murdo Auto Museum in South Dakota.
In 2019 they sold it for a whopping USD 800,000, close to the world auction record for a motorcycle.
Now it goes up for auction in Palm Springs, California, on August 11 of this year.
The figure could well reach the outrageous price of the last time and become the most expensive motorcycle in history, even more than the H-D auctioned for $ 935,000 this same 2023 in Las Vegas.
