My 1953 125cc Harley-Davidson Ranger looks like a Harley-Davidson Hog and it definitely does not have a 165 cc engine. Kathleen Skelly, P.O. Box 327, Welcome, MN. 56181

I shall delete this forthwith from the main article, but I shall discuss the statement and my reason for deleting it here:

First, the reason for deleting it: Anecdotal statements and original research should not be part of an encyclopedia article. If you can cite a published source that states that there were 125 cc Rangers made in 1953, then by all means include the statement and the citation in the article.

Second, regarding the statement itself. If it's a 1953 bike and has a 125 cc engine, then it's not likely to be a Ranger. As the article and its stated sources say, the Ranger was made in 1962 only. If it looks like a regular Hog, is a 1953 bike, and has a 125 cc engine, it's probably a S-125. If it's all that and says "Ranger" on it too, it's probably a S-125 with a Ranger badge. Maybe it has some Ranger parts on it that included the badge. A lot of parts were interchangeable between these bikes.

I hope that has been of help and has not violated the guidelines of Wikipedia too much. Respectfully, SamBlob 22:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
