The Harley-Davidson MT350 Military Motorcycle

General

The Harley-Davidson MT350 was manufactured in the United States , and was a development of its predecessor : the Armstrong MT500.

It was manufactured between 1993 and 2000, for MoD Contract No: LV2A/067. Approximately 1700 units were supplied to the British Forces for use in the UK , (including Northern Ireland ), West Germany , Cyprus and in the Gulf. The model in 500cc form, was also supplied in the U.S on the open market for civilian use through H-D Dealerships and over the Internet.

Important improvements over the previous model include electric start and disc brakes, and the Armstrong's rear panniers were replaced by front mounted plastic removable pannier boxes. A lower centre stand made operation easier.
