CRS stood for Competition Race Scrambler, and it utilized a 250cc engine. Harley advertised the model as “tough, quick and lean. They win.” A period Cycle World review said “the CRS is in every sense of the word a racing motorcycle.” and that the “most impressive feature on first acquaintance is the finish…the CRS is actually beautiful.”

This gorgeous example has an engine built by Lancaster Sprints, as well as a XR750 style rear knock off hub, Smiths tach, Dell’Orto carb, period NOS Pirelli tires, Borrani aluminum wheels, and more.
