A Harley-Davidson motorcycle that was once given to Pope Francis by the manufacturer is to go on sale next month in Paris, a British auction house says.
The 1,585cc Dyna Super Glide was given given to the pope in June to mark the 110th anniversary of the U.S. motorbike maker, London-based auctioneer Bonhams said.
The Harley Davidson will be auctioned at the Grand Palais in Paris as part of Bonham’s Les Grandes Marques du Monde sale.
With an estimated worth of around 12,000-15,000 euros ($16,400-$20,500), the motorcycle was signed on the tank by His Holiness at a special ceremony at the Vatican in November.
A Harley Davidson leather jacket also signed by the pope will be sold immediately after the motorcycle.
The proceeds will go towards the renovation of the charity’s Don Luigi di Liegro hostel and soup kitchen, based in Rome’s central Termini rail station.
