Harley Presents Brad Andres’ 1952 KRTT Road Racer

Road Ragin’

Unlike the lifeless wax taxidermy in a cheesy roadside museum, the Harley-Davidson Museum displays were almost alive at one point. Case in point: this `52 KRTT owned by racing champ Brad Andres.

Born in 1936 to renowned engine tuner Leonard Andres, racing was in Brad Andres’ blood. In 1955, at the tender age of 18, he turned pro and competed in and won his very first Daytona 200. His record as the youngest winner still stands.
Andres was also named the AMA’s Grand National Champion during his remarkable rookie season. He enjoyed a short but storied career, capturing two more Daytona titles in 1959 and 1960. He retired soon after, and managed his family’s H-D dealership until 1976. Come check out Brad’s 1952 KRTT Road Racer in the H-D Museum’s entrance.
