c1928 Harley-Davidson 26B 350cc (Pup) Solo Motorcycle

Description

The 35 ci singles were discontinued at the end of the model year 1918. The company tried to win customers in the 600cc class with the flat twin model W Sport Twin that was produced from 1919 up to including 1923. Sales were relatively modest, but it was clear that especially in the European markets a small-capacity HD would be a selling point, if only to act as a ?starter model?. In 1926 the 350 cc class models were brought on to the market; the OHV versions were rather exotic machines mainly meant for competition use, but the side valve models 26A and B (the B had an electrical lighting system) were good sellers: more than 7000 machines found a home in the first year of production. This model was also known as the ?Pup?.
