Faithful recreation of on-screen bike from 1991 ‘Harley Davidson and the Malboro Man’
Build started in the US and finished in the UK
125 miles covered since build completed
The Appeal
If you’re a fan of the 1991 futuristic western ‘Harley Davidson and the Malboro Man’ starring Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson, or you simply appreciate a well-built custom chopper, then this is the bike for you.
The brainchild of Death Row Motorcycles’ owner in the United States, this replica of the on-screen ‘Black Death’ bike has been recently completed in the UK by Fullbore Motorcycles. With a recent MOT and all necessary paperwork present, this Harley is ready to be registered and enjoyed on UK roads.
The History and Paperwork
First registered in 1970
Movie replica build started by Death Row Motorcycles
Imported to Britain by the vendor from the US in 2021
Build completed by Fullbore Motorcycles
Not yet registered in UK but all paperwork present
Having been recently completed, this ‘Black Death’ recreation really looks the part with its black frame, bare metal finished tank and rear mudguard.
The vendor informs us that the decals are accurate recreations of those used on the movie bike making this one of the most faithful replicas of ‘Black Death’ in existence.
Due to some dampness over the winter months, there are some signs of surface corrosion appearing on the bare metal areas of this bike. The vendor advises that the next owner may wish to have the bike re-lacquered, although the bike could easily be enjoyed as is, so long as a smattering of light patination doesn’t phase you.
All parts used during the build were new or reconditioned, so the brightwork on the forks, wheels and tyres is in very good condition. Having covered so few miles, the wheels and tyres are in excellent shape and the chrome appears lustrous under natural light.
The Mechanics
1340 Evo engine
Belt drive
Very loud exhaust note
The starting point for this project was a Harley Davidson 1340 Evo FX. Its 1340cc V-twin engine is here finished in matt black to match the on-screen bike and the vendor reports that it is very loud when running. A nice touch that carefully emulates the movie bike is the colour coordinated HT leads with spark testing windows. Details such as this demonstrate how accurate this recreation is.
As you would expect of a recent rebuild, the bike rides very well, reportedly accelerating, changing gear and stopping exactly as it should.
Summary
As such a faithful replica of the ‘Black Death’ bike, this Harley Davidson is undeniably awesome and is bound to attract admiring gazes wherever it goes. Having been built by two renowned custom bike specialists both stateside and in the UK, this high quality build is as much a bike to be used as it is to look at and should provide the next owner with many hours of enjoyment.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
