Description
Evel Knievel Screen Used Harley-Davidson XLCH 1000 Eagle "Stratocycle" from Viva Knievel! (Warner Bros., 1977) The motorcycle, custom built on a modified 1976 Harley XLCH Sportster 1000, features a futuristic fiberglass fairing with integral wings, custom exhaust ports, and sports a red, white and blue eagle-motif paint scheme.
Ridden by Knievel in various scenes in the film, Its unique and dramatic appearance prompted a toy version of the Stratocycle to be made by Ideal Toy Company (the most valuable and collectable of all Evel Knievel toys).
The provenance of this motorcycle is exceptional: it comes with original California registration card issued for (VIN# 4A20750H6) from "AMF Harley Davidson MTR Co." to "Warner Bros. Inc." and an original invoice from Harley-Davidson Motor Co., Inc., dated 8-14-78, selling the motorcycle following the production to "Rich Budelier Company" (the Los Angeles Harley dealership which provided the motorcycles for the film) with the following notation: "Used in Evil Knievel Movie").
The motorcycle has undergone some cosmetic restoration; Paint and missing stickers were replaced, the Plexiglas windscreen and alloy wheels have been replaced to bring it back to screen appearance.
This is the only known film-used, stunt-ridden motorcycle by Evel Knievel for sale.
Worthy of inclusion in the finest collections of Motorcycles and Americana.
