Elvis Presley Harley-Davidson: Last Motorcyle Bought by the 'King' Up for Auction

The last motorcycle bought by Elvis Presley, a Harley-Davidson, is expected to fetch big bucks when it comes up for auction this month.

Aside from Cadillacs, Continentals, and other classic cars, Fox News reported that the King of Rock' N Roll also owned a lot of motorcycles during his lifetime.

Presley reportedly purchased the 1976 Harley-Davidson FLH Electra-Glide in Palm Springs, California, on August 11 that same year and shipped it to his Graceland home, where he died just over a year later.

The 1976 Harley-Davidson FLH Electra Glide Bicentennial was built to celebrate the U.S.' 200th birthday, and there were only 750 of them.

The influential musician had reportedly sold the 1200cc bike to a Harley-Davidson dealer three months before he died. It was then purchased by a hotel owner in the resort town of Wildwood, New Jersey, where it was displayed.

The customized black and blue colored motorcycle by Presley went into the hands of several owners before it ended up at the Pioneer Auto Museum in Murdo, South Dakota, in 1983.

It became a part of the museum's collection until it was auctioned in 2019 for $800,000, which was about 40 times what similar bikes are worth and close to the all-time record auction sale for a motorcycle.

Elvis Presley's motorcycle, which currently shows only 1,261 miles on its odometer, is scheduled to be auctioned at Mecum's Indianapolis on May 20.

Elvis Presley Motorcycle, Other Personal Items Put Up For Auction

Aside from Elvis Presley's motorcycle, other personal items of the King, such as jewelry, clothing, cars, and accessories, have already hit the auction block last January.

Fox 8 News reported that the rare items auctioned were part of the Artifacts of Hollywood and Music Auction. The auction has attracted bidders to one of the more unique items, such as Presley's bathroom scale, which was reportedly worth $1,500 at the last current bid.

Another item in the auction was the 1967 Lincoln Continental that Presley bought for his father. His Ruger Blackhawk 44 Magnum revolver was also included.

Other items that bidders also eyed during the auction were a monogrammed attaché case, a wool shearling coat, Presley's seventh-degree black belt certificate, and his personal phone and address book.

There was also a piece from Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. It was a cotton top sheet from Lisa Marie's plane bed. The live bidding was held last January 28.

Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley's Mom, Shares Anniversary Photo With Elvis Presley

Priscilla Presley, the mother of Lisa Marie Presley, posted an anniversary photo with Elvis Presley on Instagram on May 1 to celebrate the very special occasion.

According to ET Canada, Priscilla was married to Elvis on May 1, 1967, in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas. She reportedly shared the photo to celebrate their 56th wedding anniversary.

Priscilla captioned the post: "May 1st. A very special day for Elvis and I.' Memories pressed between the pages of my mind.' Memories sweetened through the ages just like wine."

The tribute comes amid Priscilla's dispute with her granddaughter, Riley Keough, over her daughter's trust following her death. The state includes the Graceland mansion and a 15% stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises.
