Harley-Davidson – Memphis Flyer

After selling the first 29 “Elvis Presley Signature Motorcycles,” Harley-Davidson and Elvis Presley Enterprises put the 30th bike up for auction on December 8th.

The bikes, which recreate the personalized 1957 black Harley that Presley once owned, were created in honor of the 30th anniversary Elvis’ death this past August.

Only 30 bikes were created. Each motorcycle retails at $57,888, but the first one sold for a whopping $100,000 ($40,000 of that was donated to the American Diabetes Association).

The eBay auction will close on January 8th, Elvis’ birthday. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Presley Place, a transitional housing provider for homeless families in Memphis.

A few months ago, if you couldn’t come up with the $50,000+ to buy one of the limited edition Harley-Davidsons specially tricked out to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, here’s your last chance.

Bruce Rossmeyer is CEO of 13 Harley dealerships, including Graceland Harley-Davidson and the world’s largest H-D dealership in Daytona, Florida. Earlier this summer, he commissioned 30 FLH model Harleys with custom paintjobs and other features designed to re-create as closely as possible the 1957 FLH Harley once owned by the King of Rock-and-Roll. Each bike was specially numbered, and 1-29 have already been sold.

The final motorcyle, number 30 in the series, will be auctioned on eBay on December 8th. The closing date of the auction will be January 8th — Elvis’ birthday. Proceeds will benefit Presley Place, which offers transitional housing for homeless families in Memphis.

One the auctions gets under way, you can track it on eBay by searching for “Elvis motorcycle.”
