The 1969 Harley-Davidson of Marlon Brando, who portrayed motorcycle gang leader Johnny Strabler in 1953 classic "The Wild One", is up for auction. The Harley Davidson FLH Electra-Glide motorcycle was purchased by Brando in 1970 and it is probably the only "Brando motorcycle available. The auction takes place on June 27 in Beverly Hills.
The bike is estimated to be worth between USD 200,000 to 400,000, reported People magazine. "My father was bigger than life and everything he did was often celebrated by fans around the globe," Miko Brando, the actor's son, said. "My hope is that many of the items coming up for auction this weekend at Julien's Auctions will offer a small glimpse into the life of my father, who happened to also be one of the world's most loved and famous actors of our time."
Brando's role in "The Wild One" is considered as the original outlaw biker film where Brando's Johnny Strabler is the gang leader of The Black Rebels Motorcycle Club. The actor, however, rode a 1950 6T Triumph Thunderbird bike in the movie.
