SPEEDSTER
<p><br></p><p><b>SOLD - SALE PENDING</b></p><p><br></p><p>Rare 2001 Ridley Custom Speedster, <b>52 Original miles</b>, One Owner</p><p><br></p><p>The Ridley was made by The Ridley Motorcycle Co. founded by the father and son team of Clay and Jay Ridley in the latter 90's until 2009. It closed due to pressures of the recession and a law suit filed against them by Harley which led to the closing of the company. The Ridley has a loyal following which is still present today for the niche looking for a unique, smaller, automatic transmission motorcycle. Many loyal followers who have Ridleys have no intention of ever selling them, with the small production numbers and a finite supply, this makes this Ridley a rare motorcycle especially since it is an early factory custom. I'm selling the bike since I'm getting older but have still enjoyed mostly admiring it, as you can tell by the mileage (52 miles). It has never been droped or wrecked and has been covered and garaged the full time. I feel this would be an excellent addition to your collection or a great selection for your significant other or a smaller statured rider. (Any sized person thinks it’s a kick to ride). There is a dealer who has taken over the Ridley name with parts, service, as well as buying and selling Ridleys.</p><p><br></p><p>I am the original owner of this 2001 Custom Ridley Speedster with a whole 52 miles on it, never got around to riding it with several other vehicles and things going on. It <b>is</b> a <b>23 year old NEW bike</b>. It has never been registered. I have all the original paperwork. Due to the age of the bike, I’ve had the oil changed and the carburetor completely cleaned and serviced – runs like a charm. It has a small chip on the front fender. The Ridley Speedster which is the first and smallest model Ridley produced. Most of the production units of the Speedsters were basic models with basic colors, but this one is one of the first full factory customs which Clay made and is fully factory polished aircraft grade billet hardware and and chrome with a custom paint job. It actually looks like a shrunken Vintage Road King and is about 3/4s as large as the Road King. The engine sound is very Harleyish. People will actually chase you down to see what you're riding; it will be the center of many conversations! It’s an automatic CVT type transmission with final belt drive (just gas it 'n go, no shifting). The custom paint job was done by the late Mark Robins of Oklahoma City who was one of the premier cycle painting artists in the country.</p><p><br></p>
