1942 Harley-Davidson 42XA Motorcycle

The Harley-Davidson 42XA was a limited-production model introduced in 1942. The 42XA was a reverse-engineered copy of the German BMW R-12, an example of which had been captured in North Africa. The horizontal flat-twin engine was a dramatic change from the proven V-twin design featured on all previous Harley-Davidson civilian and military motorcycles. The vehicle's worth is estimated between $25,000 and $35,000.
