The Harley-Davidson FXB 1340 Sturgis – a true American icon born from the spirit of freedom and rebellion that defines the annual pilgrimage to the Black Hills in South Dakota.
This classic black beauty with its bold red trim exudes a timeless style that pays homage to the rally’s rich history. The dual-belt design, still in use at the time, proved itself to be a durable option over traditional chain drives found on most other motorcycles.
The FXB Sturgis proudly wears an emblem on its front fender, commemorating the first year of Harley-Davidson’s reorganized motor company after being under AMF management and ownership for several prior years.
Power is provided by the legendary “shovelhead” 80 cubic inch engine, which effortlessly turns the primary and final belt drive through a four-speed transmission. This original motorcycle is an unadulterated delight to ride and own, boasting a classic look and feel that embodies the essence of what makes a Harley-Davidson so iconic.
With its distinctive gold wheels and black paint job, this bike stands out from the crowd at every stop, becoming the center of attention as onlookers can’t help but marvel at the reflection of America’s spirit embodied in this magnificent machine.
