Historic Harley-Davidson Serial No. 1 offered in 100% charity auction supporting women's cancer care
2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR - Serial Number 1.



DALLAS, TX.- Heritage Auctions partnered with the Promise Fund of Florida on a singular, one-lot charity auction offering a modern motorcycling milestone: the 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR, Serial Number 1, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the Promise Fund’s mission to increase survivorship from breast and cervical cancer. Bidding is now open and concludes with a live auction on February 24.

With only 131 examples produced worldwide, the CVO Road Glide RR ranks among the most exclusive race-inspired motorcycles ever built by Harley-Davidson. Yet within this already rarified company, Serial Number 1 stands alone. It’s the first motorcycle of its limited-edition run off the production line and the defining example of the model, a singular machine that will never be duplicated.

“This is one of those rare moments when history, engineering and philanthropy align perfectly,” says Sebastian Clarke, Director of Heritage’s Palm Beach location. “Collectors understand what Serial Number 1 represents. But what truly sets this auction apart is that every dollar raised supports lifesaving care for women who need it most.”

That care is delivered by the Promise Fund of Florida, a Palm Beach-based nonprofit founded by Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, whose decades-long advocacy through the Susan G. Komen Foundation has led breast cancer research, awareness and access to care worldwide. The Promise Fund focuses on ensuring that women — regardless of income, insurance status or where they live — receive access to screenings, early detection, treatment and guided support for breast and cervical cancer. Since its founding, the organization has engaged more than 125,000 women, screened over 20,000 and navigated hundreds through active cancer treatment, fundamentally changing outcomes for women across South Florida and beyond.

The Driven by the Promise initiative, anchored by this charity auction, was recently unveiled at the Promise Fund’s annual Pink Tie Guy reception in Palm Beach, where supporters gathered to celebrate the organization’s mission and expand access to women’s cancer care. The evening marked the official launch of Heritage Auctions’ partnership and underscored the growing momentum behind the Fund’s work, as well as the next generation’s involvement in advancing its lifesaving mission.

The motorcycle at the center of this effort reflects the same commitment to innovation and leadership. Developed directly from Harley-Davidson’s factory racing program, the CVO Road Glide RR is engineered without compromise. Aerospace-grade materials define the build, including a titanium exhaust, carbon-fiber bodywork and billet aluminum components, resulting in exceptional strength, reduced weight and uncompromising performance. Power comes from the most formidable production engine Harley-Davidson has ever delivered: a Milwaukee-Eight® producing more than 150 horsepower and 150 ft-lb of torque, with a 6,500 RPM redline.

“This isn’t just a motorcycle — it’s a statement piece,” says Katherine van Dell, Managing Director of Heritage in Palm Beach. “Owning Serial Number 1 means owning the moment Harley-Davidson pushed the limits of what a production motorcycle could be, while also making a direct and meaningful impact through charity.”

Finished in Harley-Davidson Racing Orange with black and white accents, the RR mirrors the factory’s King of the Baggers race machines. Exposed carbon fiber beneath a deep gloss clear coat underscores its competition pedigree, while its serialized riser clamp permanently secures its place among the rarest motorcycles Harley-Davidson has ever produced. Despite its racing DNA, the RR remains fully street legal, equipped with advanced rider safety systems, premium infotainment, signature LED lighting and high-end audio — luxuries absent from any race grid.

The motorcycle was generously donated by racing legend Rodin Younessi and his family, longtime motorsports enthusiasts and philanthropists, as part of Driven by the Promise, an initiative started by Mr. Younessi’s son, Dariyan Younessi. By offering this unparalleled machine without reserve and directing 100% of proceeds to charity, the Younessi family has transformed a pinnacle of modern motorcycling into a catalyst for lifesaving care.

“There is only one 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR Serial Number 1, and only one opportunity to acquire it. Through this auction, that opportunity carries a legacy that extends far beyond the road,” says Clarke.
