The most expensive Harley-Davidson ever made is the "Liberation" motorcycle, which sold for $1.1 million at a charity auction in 2009.
This custom-built motorcycle was designed by renowned motorcycle designer Michael Lichter and features a unique, one-of-a-kind design. It was built to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion and features intricate details, including a hand-painted mural depicting the Allied invasion of Normandy.
While the "Liberation" holds the record for the highest price ever paid for a Harley-Davidson, other custom-built and limited-edition models have fetched significant sums at auctions. These include:
- The "Captain America" motorcycle: A replica of the iconic motorcycle from the Marvel Comics series, this bike sold for $1.2 million in 2012.
- The "Tribute to Heroes" motorcycle: This special-edition motorcycle was built to honor the first responders of the September 11th attacks and sold for $1 million in 2001.
- The "Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary" motorcycle: This limited-edition model was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company and sold for $1.5 million in 2003.
These high-priced Harleys are not only prized for their unique designs and craftsmanship but also for their historical significance and the charitable causes they support.
