WHAT IS A HUMMER (Harley-Davidson®) Harley-Davidson built a series of small two-stroke singles in their U.S. factory from 1948 to 1966. These models were marketed in three displacements under several different model names. The name Hummer is often loosely used to define the entire model group.
All of these were piston-port two-strokes with three-speed, left-side foot shifts. The kick-starters were on the left side and were not foldable. Most of the mufflers were black with chrome header pipes, but chrome mufflers were an option on many models. The wheel rims and handlebars were also painted black on some models, with chrome components offered as options. The handgrips were larger in diameter than the handlebars and the throttles did not have return springs, making them feel quite different to the hand than those on small Japanese machines. |
