    Does it come with a certificate of authenticity?
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Things that make you go Hmmm.

    Things that make you go Hmmm. There are only two(2) good things about this particular VX on eBay: A. It has extremely low miles (legitimacy must be confirmed). and B. It has a Super-Charger (then again, that may be a good thing or may be a bad thing since it's not OEM). Other than that, it's got a cheesy assortment of H.D. Motorcycle decals, floor mats, and trailer hitch cover from your local Auto Zone store. Tsk Tsk. Things that make you go Hmmm.

    Hi
    I emailed the seller and asked if he had fitted the badges himself?
    His reply is below:

    The HDVX was developed by the design team of MDM Motorsports in the early part of 1999.
    This was their concept of what a Harley Davidson endorsed vehicle should be. The Idea to use
    the Vehicross platform was suggested by one of the Ducati engineers who was part of the design
    team for Isuzu. This is the prototype for this project. The metal badging was applied during detailing.
    - mdmason12

    What a lot of BS!

    Cheers all,
    Clive

    Why, of course, I see the link now. MDM Motorsports is a late model dirt track car team sponsor. The VX is a premier off road vehicle, do you see it now. And HD does that dirt racing thing. It must be true then

    ya, right
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    A bunch of MDM dudes were down at the local pub throwing back a few brewskys,
    This was their concept of what a Harley Davidson endorsed vehicle should be.
    when one guy says "anybody seen that new Isuzu thing? That thang would look gnarley with some Harley badges on it!"
    The Idea to use the Vehicross platform was suggested by one of the Ducati engineers who was part of the design team for Isuzu.
    The guy riding the Ducati replies, "Yeah, just don't be puttin' no Duc badges on that ugly POS!'
    This is the prototype for this project.
    Billy Bob remember that one of their customers has a neighbor that is dating the sister of a guy that bought a VX.
    The metal badging was applied during detailing.
    So they all jump in Billy Bob's F250, find the VX, and plaster it with all kinds of stickers using crazy glue that will NEVER come off. They also pelted it with eggs and chicken feathers. Took the guy a week to "detail it."

    Just remember if you ever decide to sell ORW, make sure you slap some HD stickers on it. It'll yield 20% higher bids

    The "design team" of "MDM Motorsports" probably consisted of 3 guys named Moe, David and Morris and a 24 case of Budweiser.
