1975 Harley-Davidson SS-250 Pictures
Harley-Davidson didn't find long-term success with two-stroke bikes, including the 1975 Harley-Davidson SS-250 motorcycle, due to pollution issues. Harley advertised the 1975 Harley-Davidson SS-250 as ideal "For the discriminating road and highway rider." |
 The Yamaha-based engine provided decent performance, but its emissions eventually ran afoul of the EPA. |
 Sporting-goods maker AMF purchased Harley-Davidson in 1969, and display of its logo never sat well with Harley die-hards. |
 Tachometer (left) and speedometer used nearly identical gauge faces. |
 A sign of the times: The 1975 Harley-Davidson SS-250 came from a company that made bowling equipment and had an engine by Yamaha. |
 On/off-road Harleys carried the SX prefix, and were eventually available in 175- and 250-cc sizes. |
